Easy
Ingredients:
2 cans CHICKPEAS, drained and rinsed
2/3 cup TAHINI
6 Tablespoons LEMON JUICE
6 GARLIC CLOVES cut into 1/4's
1 1/2 teaspoon SALT
1 teaspoon CUMIN
2 Tablespoons OLIVE OIL
1/2 cup COLD WATER
2 ICE CUBES optional OLIVE OIL and PAPRIKA, optional for serving
Preparation:
Add all of the ingredients to a food processor. (Reserve a few chickpeas for serving, if desired.)
Process for 3-5 minutes, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides, until the hummus is completely smooth and creamy.
If the hummus is too thick, add a little more water, a few teaspoons at a time. Blend again until it reaches the desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
Refrigerate before serving. The hummus will thicken slightly as it chills.
To serve, drizzle top with olive oil and dust with paprika. Add the reserved chickpeas.
