Ingredients

• 400 grams Low-sodium chickpeas, canned
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1.5 tablespoons Tahini, light (low-fat)
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove excess sodium and starch.

Step 2

In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, minced garlic, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt.

Step 3

Begin blending the mixture and slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve a smooth and creamy texture. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure everything blends evenly.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary (e.g., add more lemon juice or a pinch of salt).

Step 5

Once smooth and creamy, transfer the hummus to a serving bowl.

Step 6

Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, a drizzle of olive oil, and fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately with fresh vegetable sticks, whole-grain pita, or as a spread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
