Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
• 0.25 cup tahini (sesame paste)
• 2 fresh garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon + more for garnish extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika or sumac (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by draining and rinsing the canned chickpeas. For extra smooth hummus, you can peel the skins off the chickpeas by gently squeezing each one between your fingers, though this step is optional.

Step 2

2. In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the tahini and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Pulse for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes whipped and creamy.

Step 3

3. Add the garlic cloves, ground cumin, and salt to the food processor. Pulse a few times to incorporate them into the tahini mixture.

Step 4

4. Add the chickpeas to the food processor and blend until a thick paste forms. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

5. With the food processor running, drizzle in the olive oil and cold water. Blend for another 2-3 minutes or until the hummus becomes smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, you can add 1-2 additional tablespoons of cold water until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

6. Taste the hummus and adjust for seasoning. Add more salt, lemon juice, or cumin if desired.

Step 7

7. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Create a small well in the center with the back of a spoon and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle paprika, sumac, or fresh parsley for garnish if using.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately with warm pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as part of a mezze platter. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
