Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 ounces) of chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons water (optional, for desired consistency)
- Optional garnishes: a drizzle of olive oil, paprika, chopped fresh parsley, or whole chickpeas
Instructions:
Drain and clean the chickpeas. Put them in a food processor with the tahini, lemon juice, garlic that has been chopped, olive oil, cumin, and a pinch of salt.
If you need to, scrape down the sides of the bowl as you work to make the mixture smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, slowly add two to three tablespoons of water until it’s the right consistency.
If you want to change the flavor of the hummus, you can add more salt or lemon juice.
When the hummus has the texture and taste you want, put it in a bowl to serve.
Pour some extra olive oil on top if you want to, and for decoration, add paprika or chopped fresh parsley on top.
You can put the hummus on chips, crackers, or fresh veggies, or you can use it to make sandwiches or wraps.
Have fun with your bean hummus!
