Ingredients
- tahini heaping 1/4 cup
- 3 to 4 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed, real
- 1 garlic peeled and minced, large or 2 smaller cloves
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil plus more for serving
- ¾ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika plus more for garnishing, or smoked paprika
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- cayenne pepper optional and to taste, tiny pinch
- garbanzo beans drained and rinsed, canned, BUSH’S® brand referenced
- 2 to 4 tablespoons bean liquid added to taste for consistency, reserved
- ¼ cup Pico de Gallo plus more for garnishing
- 2 teaspoons cilantro stems discarded, finely minced, fresh leaves
- corn tortilla chips crackers, vegetable sticks, etc., for serving
Instructions
- To the canister of a food processor fitted with the S-blade or to the canister of a blender, add the tahini, lemon juice, and blend on high-power for about 90 seconds until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the garlic and process for about 1 minute.* (See Notes)
- Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the cumin, paprika, salt and pepper to taste, and optional cayenne (doesn’t make hummus spicy, makes it not taste bland).
- Add the garbanzo beans and process only as long as necessary until desired texture is achieved. I prefer a small amount of texture retained so I process for less than 1 minute.
- As necessary for desired consistency, drizzle in the reserved bean liquid.
- Stop to taste hummus and make any tweaks necessary, to taste.
- Place hummus in a serving bowl, garnish with pico de gallo, drizzle with olive oil if desired to taste, and sprinkle with additional paprika if desired, and sprinkle the cilantro.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dippers or chill covered for about an hour before serving. Hummus is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- *Note: For the entire recipe, I keep my food processor running on high power and add ingredients through the feed chute. I don’t stop to scrape down the sides of the canister but if you feel you should stop to scrape down, do so.
