Ingredients
  • 15 oz can garbanzo beans, rinsed & drained
  • 1⁄4 cup tahini
  • 1⁄4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1⁄2 tsp cumin
  • Paprika
  • 1⁄2-1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil + extra if necessary to reach desired consistency
  • 2-3 tbsp water
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of a food processor combine tahini & lemon juice and process for 1 minute; scrape edges and process for an additional 30-45 seconds. In order to get smooth creamy hummus you really need to take the time to process each set of ingredients and allow each to reach a really creamy smooth consistency.
  2. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, salt & cumin to the food processor. Process for 30 seconds; scrape edges and process and additional 30-45 seconds.
  3. Add 1⁄2 the rinsed and drained chickpeas and process for 1 minute; scrape edges and add the remaining chickpeas and process for 1-2 minutes or longer if large chunks of chickpeas remain.
  4. Now in order to get that store-bought consistency slowly add 1 additional tbsp of olive oil then water until you achieve the texture you’re looking for. Do not add too much water---no more than 3 tbsp should be sufficient.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with paprika.
  6. Serve & enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator!
