Hummus

Ingredients

  • 15 ounce can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed. (Save the liquid, which is known as aquafaba, to use as an egg replacer in other recipes).

  • 4 tablespoons tahini (ground sesame seed) paste

  • 1 large clove of garlic, well minced

  • 2-4 tablespoons (30-60 ml) fresh lemon juice, to taste

  • 4 tablespoons (60 ml) best quality extra virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (depending on sodium level of garbanzo beans)

  • Paprika

Directions

  • Place the garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the olive oil, and salt in a food processor. Process until completely smooth, at least 2-3 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, thin with more lemon juice or aquafaba from the chickpeas.
  • When serving, create a swirl with the back of a spoon, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika.
