Ingredients

8 servings
Chickpeas, canned2 cans (15 oz each)
Tahini1/4 cup
Garlic2 cloves
Olive oil2 tbsp
Salt1/2 tsp
Paprika1/2 tsp

Method

1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear; this removes excess starch and ensures a smoother texture.

2

Add chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and salt to a food processor.

3

Blend on high speed for 2–3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is very smooth and creamy.

4

With the processor running, add water or broth 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency—hummus should be thick but spreadable.

5

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or lemon juice as needed.

6

Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with paprika, fresh parsley, and sesame seeds if desired.
