Ingredients
- 15 oz. canned chickpeas drained and rinsed (1.5 cups cooked chickpeas)
- 1 clove garlic smashed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice from about 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup Tahini (see notes)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- extra olive oil, sesame seeds, whole chickpeas, chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, smashed garlic clove, cumin (1/2 teaspoon), and kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon) to a food processor. Press on until everything is chopped very finely and blended together (about 1-2 minutes).
- Slowly drizzle in the lemon juice (1/4 cup), then water (2 tablespoons), while food processor is running.
- Scrape down the sides, add the tahini (1/4 cup), and process again.
- Scrape down the sides, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil (1/4 cup) while food processor is on.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes, which will help infuse the flavors and thicken the hummus.
- Serve drizzled with more extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkled with whole chickpeas, sesame seeds, and chopped parsley, if desired.
Notes
- If you want to use whole chickpeas as a garnish, be sure to reserve some from the can before adding them to the food processor.
- Tahini substitution: Don't have tahini, or can't find it at your store? Substitute with almond butter or peanut butter.
- Storage: The prepared hummus can be stored in your refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.
- If you don't have a food processor, a blender will work as well.
