Homemade Hummus
Ingredients
2 cups drained well-cooked or canned chickpeas, liquid reserved
1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste), optional, with some of its oil
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus oil for drizzling
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin or paprika
Juice of 1 lemon, plus more as needed
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish
Method
Put everything except the parsley in a food processor and begin to process; add the chickpea liquid or water as needed to allow the machine to produce a smooth puree.
Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve, drizzled with the olive oil and sprinkled with a bit more cumin or paprika and some parsley.
