Ingredients

• 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas
• 0.25 cup peanut butter (smooth, unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large garlic clove
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 2-4 tablespoons water
• 0.25 teaspoons paprika or smoked paprika (for garnish, optional)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. Drain and rinse the cooked chickpeas thoroughly. If desired, remove the skins for a smoother texture by lightly rubbing the chickpeas in a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

2. In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas, peanut butter, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, and sea salt.

Step 3

3. Blend the ingredients on high speed. While blending, gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency.

Step 4

4. Stop to scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed to ensure that all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 5

5. Taste the hummus and adjust as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or peanut butter to suit your flavor preferences.

Step 6

6. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh parsley.

Step 7

7. Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
