Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 1 cup Cooked chickpeas (canned or pre-cooked)
• 1 clove Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground paprika (for garnish, optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Let them soak for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a creamier texture. Drain and rinse the cashews before using.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the soaked cashews, cooked chickpeas, garlic clove, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt.

Step 3

Pulse the mixture several times to break it down into smaller pieces, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 4

While the food processor is running, slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches the desired creamy consistency.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice as needed.

Step 6

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
