Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large roasted red pepper (jarred or homemade)
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • as needed water for consistency
  • for garnish paprika and fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Start by blending the chickpeas and roasted red pepper in a food processor until you achieve a coarse mixture.
  2. Add the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and ground cumin into the processor.
  3. Blend the mixture until smooth. If it appears too thick, gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and blend until you reach your desired creaminess.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and give it another quick blend to mix.
  5. Once the hummus is ready, transfer it to a serving bowl.
  6. Drizzle a little olive oil on top and sprinkle with paprika and chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

💡 Chef's Notes
