Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 2–3 tablespoons water (or more, to adjust consistency)
  • Paprika (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

  1. Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin (if using), and salt. Process for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  2. Adjust the Consistency: If the hummus is too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of water gradually until desired consistency is reached.
