Instructions

6 steps

1
In a food processor, combine the tahini and fresh lemon juice. Process for 1 minute, scrape the sides, and process for another 30 seconds to whip the tahini.

2
Add the minced garlic, cumin, and salt to the whipped tahini. Process for 30 seconds.
3
Add half of the drained chickpeas to the food processor and blend for 1 minute. Scrape the bowl, then add the remaining chickpeas and blend until thick and quite smooth (about 1-2 minutes).
4
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil.
5
If the hummus is too thick, with the processor running, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture reaches your desired creamy consistency.
6
Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little more olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika or fresh parsley before serving.
