Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 15 ounces can chickpeas
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Extra virgin olive oil (for serving)
  • Paprika (for serving)
  • Fresh parsley (for serving)

Instruction

  • Place chickpeas in a bowl of water and rub them together to peel the skin (optional step, but helps create a creamy texture).
  • Drain the garbanzo beans and transfer them to a food processor. Blend them alone until they become powder-like, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add the lemon juice, tahini, garlic cloves and salt and 2-3 ice cubes, and blend for about 5 minutes until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed by adding more lemon juice or salt. Makes about 1 and half cups.
  • Spoon the hummus onto a plate or bowl, and spread the hummus with the back of a spoon to create swirls.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with paprika and fresh parsley. Serve cold or at room temperature.
