Zesty Garlic Hummous

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 cups cooked chickpeas, liquid reserved

  (1 quart home canned or cooked & drained)
• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
• ½ cup tahini
• 5-7 cloves fresh garlic, peeled & chopped
• 3 tbsp lemon juice

  add finely grated zest if using a fresh lemon
• 1 tbsp cumin seed, ground
• 1 tbsp coriander seed, ground
• 1 tsp salt

  adjust to taste, esp if your chickpeas are unsalted
• smoked paprika or sumac

  to garnish

Instructions

• 1 Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves & get out all other ingredients.
• 2 Add the garlic cloves to the blender or food processor with the dry seasonings
  and lemon & puree.
• 3 Add about one cup of the chickpeas, plus enough liquid to blend until smooth.
• 4 Add the rest of the chickpeas, olive oil, and tahini. Measure the olive oil
  first and then the tahini with the same measuring cup and the tahini will come
  out of the measuring cup more easily.
• 5 Pulse and then blend until as smooth as possible. Add additional aquafaba (the
  chickpea cooking or jarred liquid) as necessary to blend and smooth out to your
  preferred consistency.
• 6 Use a flexible spatula to transfer the hummous to a wide-mouth jar or air-tight
  storage container and refrigerate. You can serve immediately, but the flavor is
  better if you let it chill for a few hours.
