15 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas
  • 13 cup tahini
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cumin (or more to taste)
  • 12 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 18 teaspoon coriander
  • 14 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juice of
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons parsley (fresh or dry)
  • 12-1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons water (thin to taste)

Directions

  1. 1
    First I drain and rinse the chickpeas very well (this is important).
  2. 2
    When I have time, I will boil them for 5 minutes and then let them sit in the water for an hour because the are sometimes still very hard in the can.
  3. 3
    I put all of the ingredients into the food processor and I run the processor, pulsing at first, then full on.
  4. 4
    I like my hummus very smooth, so I process for about 5-6 minutes, scraping down and stirring a few times.
  5. 5
    I also like to add water until it is very smooth (personal taste).
  6. 6
    I taste for seasoning and sometimes add more salt, pepper, etc.
  7. 7
    Add a little extra cayenne and smoked paprika for a much more spicy and exciting hummus.
  8. 8
    If you like lemon hummus, add more lemon zest and lemon juice and leave out the paprika and coriander.
  9. 9
    Enjoy!
