Time 10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup tahini
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Smoked paprika, for serving, optional
Vegetable crudite and pita chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, cumin and garlic into a food processor and pulse until smooth. With the motor running, slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream. Add the salt and puree until very smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add some of the reserved chickpea liquid, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
  • To serve, transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle some olive oil over the top. Garnish with a sprinkling of smoked paprika if using, and serve with vegetables and pita chips for dipping.
  • Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
