Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons, divided olive oil
- 15 ounces (1 can), drained and rinsed canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 2 small, peeled garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika or smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon additional olive oil (optional, for drizzle)
Directions
Step 1
1. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast them for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 2
2. Transfer the toasted sesame seeds to a high-powered blender or food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and blend until the sesame seeds form a smooth paste, scraping down the sides as needed. This is your fresh, homemade tahini substitute.
Step 3
3. To the blender or food processor, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, garlic cloves, lemon juice, ground cumin, and salt.
Step 4
4. Blend the mixture, gradually adding 2 tablespoons of cold water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Process until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary. If the hummus feels too thick, you can add an extra tablespoon of cold water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 5
5. Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice, if needed.
Step 6
6. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight swirl on the surface. Optionally, sprinkle with paprika or smoked paprika, and drizzle with additional olive oil for garnish.
Step 7
7. Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
