Hummus

A delicious classic and the perfect partner to our Za'atar Pita Chips.

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 1h 10m

Cook Time: 45m

Ingredients

1 15.5-ounce can chickpeas (drained and rinsed) or 1½ cups cooked chickpeas
1 small clove garlic
2 tablespoons tahini, well stirred
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 to 3 tablespoons warm water
Chopped fresh cilantro, for serving
Smoked paprika, for serving

Make it

In a food processor, pulse together the chickpeas and garlic until finely chopped. Add the tahini, cumin, salt, cayenne, oil, and lemon juice. Puree until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of the water and pulse until creamy. If you want it creamier, add the remaining 1 tablespoon water. Taste for salt – you may want to add a little more, especially if you’re using cooked, not canned, chickpeas.

Serve the hummus topped a little more oil and some cilantro and smoked paprika. And with ZaZa pita chips.
