Chickpea Hummus

Ingredients

1 15 1/2-oz. can chickpeas

2 tbsp. water

4 tbsp. lemon juice

1 garlic clove

1/2 cup tahini

3/4 tsp. kosher salt

10 cracks freshly ground black pepper

1/4 tsp. ground cumin

Directions

Start by prepping all of your ingredients: Drain chickpeas in a strainer or colander and rinse thoroughly. Let drain again while you do the other prep.

Smash 1 garlic clove with the flat side of your knife on a cutting board and remove peel. Continue to mash with side of knife until a paste forms.

Combine drained chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, salt, pepper, cumin, and water in a food processor.

Process until smooth, about 1 minute.

With the motor running, stream in olive oil, then continue to process until hummus is very light and creamy, about 1 minute longer. Taste and season with more salt, if needed.

Transfer to an airtight container and chill, freezes for up to 4 months
