Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Cooked or canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
• 1 large Fresh tomatoes (roughly chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 small Garlic cloves (peeled)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, add the cooked or canned chickpeas, chopped tomato, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and tomato paste.

Step 2

Pulse the ingredients a few times to begin combining them.

Step 3

Turn on the food processor and start blending the mixture while gradually drizzling in the cold water, one tablespoon at a time. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

Step 4

Stop the food processor occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly blended.

Step 5

Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, lemon juice, or smoked paprika to your liking.

Step 6

Once the hummus is smooth and has a creamy texture, transfer it to a serving bowl.

Step 7

If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika, chopped fresh parsley, or a drizzle of tahini.

Step 8

Serve immediately with fresh vegetable sticks, whole-grain crackers, or pita bread, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
