Ingredients
1 can chickpeas (15 oz), drained and rinsed
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3–5 tablespoons cold water
Optional garnishes: paprika, chopped parsley, more olive oil
Instructions
1. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Optionally, warm them and remove skins for ultra-smooth texture.
2. Add chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and 3 tablespoons of cold water to a blender or food processor.
3. Blend until smooth, scraping down sides. Add more cold water gradually if needed.
4. With blender running, slowly drizzle in olive oil. Taste and adjust seasoning.
5. Spoon into a serving bowl. Swirl the top with a spoon and garnish with olive oil, paprika, and parsley.
Notes
Use ice-cold water to make the hummus extra airy and smooth.
Warming the chickpeas before blending makes them easier to process.
Blend longer than you think—at least 1–2 minutes—for ultra creaminess.
