Ingredients:
• 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas or 1 1/2 cups (250 grams) cooked chickpeas
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice (1 large lemon)
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) well-stirred tahini
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt to taste
• 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 ml) water
• Dash ground cumin, paprika, or sumac, for serving
Directions:
- In a food processor, combine tahini and lemon juice. Process for 1 minute, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, then process for 30 more seconds until creamy and light in color.
- Add garlic, olive oil, cumin, and salt. Process for 1 minute, scrape the bowl, and add the chickpeas in two batches, mixing thoroughly each time.
- Continue processing for 1–2 minutes until smooth. Add water, a little at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency (about 3 tbsp usually works).
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve with optional toppings like olive oil, paprika, and nuts.
