Ingredients

  • 2 15 oz Cans Chickpeas drained
  • 1/3 Cup Tahini
  • 1/4 Cup Olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 Cloves Garlic peeled
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 4 Ice cubes

Instructions

  • Lay a large towel out on a counter then add the chickpeas, fold the towel over, and rub vigorously to loosen the skins. (Don’t push on or mash them.)
  • Place the chickpeas in a large bowl then fill with water and stir so the skins float, and you can strain them with a sieve.
  • Remove any skins that are loose with your hands then add the chickpeas to a food processor.
  • Process until it forms a sandy texture then add the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt and blend until smooth.
  • Add 3-4 pieces of ice and blend until the hummus is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Taste and add more salt and cumin as needed then serve with pita chips, lemon wedges, a drizzle of olive oil, freshly minced parsley, and paprika powder if desired.

Notes
