Best Hummus

Best Hummus

I serve this at least once a week with a chicken or steak meal or just as a quick snack. This is the basic hummus recipe and is simple yet delicious. Learned from my late grandfather who was of Lebanese descent. Serve with fresh Arabic bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup water
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin (Optional)
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • 1 sprig fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1
Place garbanzo beans, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, water, garlic, and cumin into a food processor and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle top of hummus with paprika and fresh parsley.

Cook?s Note

For thinner hummus, add a little more water or even the liquid from the chickpeas. I find 1/4 cup water with totally drained garbanzos is perfect; after refrigeration, it will thicken up.
