Instructions
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the 115 ounce can of garbanzo beans in a colander. (Removing the skins from the beans is optional and will make the hummus smoother.)
- Add the drained beans, 1 medium garlic clove (peeled and smashed), the juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup tahini, 1/4 cup water, and salt to taste to a food processor or blender.
- Process until the mixture is mostly smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- If the hummus is too thick or not silky, add additional water one tablespoon at a time, processing briefly after each addition, until you reach the desired smooth consistency.
- Taste and adjust salt if needed.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley or a sprinkle of paprika. Serve with chopped vegetables, crackers, or a variety of breads.
