Ingredients
Directions
Combine chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and tahini In a food processor or high-powered blender. Pour in ¼ cup water at a time, blending until the mixture is super smooth, creamy, and pale, about 3-5 minutes.
Hummus should be somewhat thick in consistency, but feel free to add more cold water 1 tbsp at a time until desired consistency is reached. Stir in ½ tsp ground cumin. Taste and adjust as necessary.
To serve, spoon hummus into a serving bowl or platter. Use a spoon to create a swoosh on top. Drizzle with olive oil, then garnish with parsley and a pinch of paprika.
Leftover hummus keeps well in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. When ready to eat leftover hummus, mix in 1 tbsp cold water and a sprinkle of salt.

Bought your 2-pak on Amazon….Your tahini is as advertised…great tasting…I used a healthy dose in making my hummus as your recipe suggests…a good idea…I also suggest(from reading Serious Eats’ recipe) rinsing and then simmering the canned chickpeas with a 1/2 tsp of baking soda for 1/2 hour…it softens them and makes it easy to gently rub off the skins when placed in a large pot of cool water after…then slowly drain… the skins float out ahead of the beans…then fully drain and puree.
