Ingredients

400 g canned chickpeas
4 tbsp tahini
1 lemon
1 garlic clove
3 tbsp olive oil
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp salt
paprika and parsley

Method

1
For the smoothest hummus, optionally pop the skins off the chickpeas by gently squeezing each one — tedious but it makes a noticeably silkier dip. (Or skip and blend longer.)
2
In a food processor, blend the tahini and lemon juice together FIRST for 30 seconds — this whips the tahini and is the key to creaminess.
3
Add the garlic, cumin, salt, and olive oil and blend again.
4
Add the chickpeas and blend, scraping down the sides, for 2-3 full minutes until completely smooth. Patience here pays off.
