Ingredients

  • 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dark Asian sesame oil
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 12 to 15 grinds black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Paprika, for garnish

Directions

In a blender combine all the ingredients except the parsley and paprika to be used for garnish. Blend on low speed until smooth. You'll have to stop the blender often to push down the ingredients. If the mixture is too dry and you're having trouble blending it, add a few more tablespoons of olive oil to help things along.

Scrape the hummus onto a plate. Sprinkle the paprika over the top, drizzle lightly with olive oil, scatter some parsley on top, and serve. You can make the hummus up to a couple of hours before you serve it. Cover the top with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature.

    Not a bad recipe, but could be better...I have been making my hummus w/ dried chikpeas (per Alton Brown, and when I now compare it to using this canned peas recipe, well, I must say AB is absolutely right when he says dry is better than cannned. I also find that if you follow this recipe, be prepared for a garlic 'hit'..you may want to start off w/ one clove, then add to your taste. And if you love your hummus smoooooooth, you will definitely need to add more olive oil in the blending process to accomplish that texture (or lack of. You can also thin the batch in the beginning by adding a little (1/3-1/2 cup water...Also, needs at least a whole lemon for 'zing'!
