Homemade Hummus
Ingredients
- Tahini - 1/4 cup
- Lemon juice - 1/4 cup
- Olive oil - 2 tbsp
- Garlic - 1 clove
- Salt - 1 tsp
- Ground cumin - 1/2 tsp
- Chickpeas - 400g, canned
- Water - 2 tbsp
- Ground paprika
- Fresh parsley - roughly chopped
Instructions
- Open the can of chickpeas and pour into a colander over the sink. Rinse well with water and leave in the sink to drip dry.
- In a food processor, blitz the tahini and lemon juice for 1-2 minutes until creamy and well combined.
- Add the olive oil, garlic, salt and cumin to the food processor and process for another 2 minutes, making sure you are scraping down the sides periodically to combine all the ingredients consistently.
- Add the chickpeas to the food processor, a third at a time, blitzing for 1 minute in between. Again, make sure you are scraping down the sides to ensure even processing. Once all the chickpeas are added, add a few tablespons of water, to your desired consistency.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of ground paprika and fresh parsley on top to garnish.
