Ingredients
Method
- Drain chickpeas in a colander or sieve. Rinse well and drain again.
- Peel garlic clove. With the motor of a food processor running, drop the garlic through the feed chute and let process until minced.
- Add the drained chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, salt, cumin, and water. Process for 1 minute.
- Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, close the lid, and continue to process until smooth.
- Transfer hummus to a bowl. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and sprinkle with ground paprika or ground sumac if desired.
Notes
See my notes on tahini in the post above. If your tahini separates and has a layer of oil on top, be sure to stir it well to incorporate before measuring.
Suggested dippers: pita bread, pita chips, cucumber slices, carrot sticks, snap peas, broccoli, radishes, veggie straws, or pretzels. Hummus is also good as a sandwich spread.
