Hummus

Ingredients for Hummus

• 475ml drained well-cooked or canned chickpeas, liquid reserved

• 120ml tahini (sesame paste), optional, with some of its oil

• 60ml extra-virgin olive oil, plus oil for drizzling

• 2 cloves garlic, peeled, or to taste

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon ground cumin or paprika, or to taste, plus a sprinkling for garnish

• Juice of 1 lemon, plus more as needed

• Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

How to make Hummus

1. Put everything except the parsley in a food processor and begin to process; add the chickpea liquid or water as needed to allow the machine to produce a smooth puree.

2. Taste and adjust the seasoning (I often find I like to add much more lemon juice). Serve, drizzled with the olive oil and sprinkled with a bit more cumin or paprika and some parsley.
