Ingredients:
- 1 can (400g) chickpeas (or 1.5 cups cooked)
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder (for warmth and depth)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (for a subtle smokiness)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (for a rich, golden color and health benefits)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water (for desired consistency)
Directions:
-
Prepare Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the chickpeas. If you prefer a smoother hummus, remove the skins of the chickpeas (optional but highly recommended for a velvety texture).
-
Blending: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
-
Blend until smooth: Start processing the ingredients and slowly add water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired creamy consistency.
-
Taste and Adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more lemon juice, garlic, or spices for a stronger kick.
-
Serve: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle extra paprika or cumin on top for garnish.
