Prep Time: 20 mins
Ingredients:
- 15 ounce can chickpeas/garbanzo beans
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
-
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.
