Ingredients
  

This recipe makes: 1 1/2 cups
  • 1-15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained or 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 large clove garlic, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • Garnish with extra virgin olive oil, paprika and parsley

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Method
 

  1. Using a food processor with the blade in place, add the rinsed and drained chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, pepper and cold water. Process for 3-4 minutes until smooth and creamy. The hummus should hold its shape and yet creamy in texture. If too thick, process it for a little longer or add another tablespoon of water.         
  2. Once the texture is smooth, transfer hummus to serving bowl. To garnish, use the tip of a small spoon, create circular grooves and then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle paprika; then garnish with parsley or thyme.
  3. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
