UMBC Eats Community Cookbook Recipe of the Week

Homemade Hummus

Ingredients:
1 15.5 oz. can chickpeas
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup tahini
1 small garlic clove
2 tbsp. olive oil
½ tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. salt
Paprika to taste


In a food processor, combine tahini and lemon juice and process for 1 minute. Scrape sides and process for 30 seconds more. Add olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt and paprika and process until well-blended. Drain the chickpeas, reserving some of the liquid from the can. Add half the chickpeas to the food processor and process for 1 minute. Scrape sides and add remaining chickpeas. 
Process until smooth, 1-2 minutes more. If the mixture is too thick, add reserved chickpea liquid and process until it reaches a creamy consistency. Taste and add additional lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, or paprika to your liking.
