How to Make Hummus Amongus

  1. Drain one 15-ounce can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans), reserving approximately 1/4 cup of the liquid.
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine the drained chickpeas, 1/4 cup tahini, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of the reserved chickpea liquid until you reach your desired consistency. Start with a tablespoon at a time to avoid making it too thin.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lemon juice, salt, pepper, or cumin to your preference.
  6. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with paprika (optional). Serve at room temperature with pita bread, grilled pork, lamb, or chicken.
