- Minutes to Prepare:
- Number of Servings: 24
Ingredients
•One 15-ounce can (425 grams) chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans•1/4 cup (59 ml) fresh lemon juice, about 1 large lemon•1/4 cup (59 ml) tahini (I used Krinos)•Half of a large garlic clove, minced•2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving•1/2 teaspoon ground cumin•2 to 3 tablespoons water•Dash of ground paprika for serving
1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine tahini and lemon juice. Process for 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl then turn on and process for 30 seconds. This extra time helps “whip” or “cream” the tahini, making smooth and creamy hummus possible.
2. Add the olive oil, minced garlic and cumin to whipped tahini and lemon juice. Process for 30 seconds, scrape sides and bottom of bowl then process another 30 seconds.
3. Open can of chickpeas, drain liquid then rinse well with water. Add half of the chickpeas to the food processor then process for 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl, add remaining chickpeas and process for 1 to 2 minutes or until thick and quite smooth.
To Serve
1.Scrape the hummus into a bowl then drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top and sprinkle with paprika.
