Ingredients

• 425 grams canned chickpeas
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 medium garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.75 teaspoons salt
• 1 pinch pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly to remove any sodium from the canning liquid.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the rinsed chickpeas, tahini, fresh lemon juice, and peeled garlic clove. Process for about 1 minute until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Add the cold water, extra virgin olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and pinch of cayenne pepper to the processor. Blend the mixture until it becomes creamy and smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of cold water and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to suit your taste.

Step 5

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Step 6

Serve with your choice of fresh vegetables, pita bread, or as a spread for sandwiches.
