Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed (amount to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons tahini (Joyva brand is the best in my opinion)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- chopped parsley or cilantro (to garnish)
Method
- In a cup or small bowl, mix the lemon juice and water.
- Stir the tahini very well. In a small bowl, stir the tahini and oil until mixed.
- Put the chickpeas, garlic, salt, and spices in the food processor bowl. Puree for about 30 seconds or until mostly smooth. Scrape down the sides.
- Start the processor again, and very slowly pour in the water and lemon juice mixture, continue processing until smooth (about 45 seconds total). Scrape down the sides if necessary.
- Start the processor again, and very slowly pour in the tahini and olive oil mixture, continue processing until smooth and fluffy (about 45 seconds total).
- Transfer to a bowl, cover, and chill for at least 1 hour for the flavors to develop. Serve garnished with cilantro or parsley if desired.
- *Note* the hummus may thicken while sitting, if so, just add a splash of water or olive oil and stir to desired consistency before serving.
