⅓ cup good-quality tahini

4 tablespoons cold water, or more if needed

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon ground cumin

¾ teaspoon fine sea salt

2 medium cloves garlic, peeled and smashed

Juice of 1 lemon (2-3 tablespoons)

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas*, rinsed and drained

Optional toppings: extra drizzle of olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, sprinkle of ground sumac or paprika, toasted pine nuts

Add tahini, cold water, olive oil, cumin, salt, garlic and lemon juice to a food processor. Puree until smooth.
Add in the chickpeas. Puree for 3-4 minutes, pausing halfway to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until the hummus is smooth. If it seems too thick, add in another tablespoon or two of water.
Taste and season with additional salt, cumin, and/or lemon juice if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with your desired toppings. Or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
