Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1×15 ounce (400g) can cooked chickpeas drained, or 1 ½ cups of cooked chickpeas
  • 2 medium avocado ripe
  • 1-2 tablespoons tahini paste
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

To garnish

  • ¼ teaspoon sumac optional
  • ¼ teaspoon sesame seeds optional
  • ¼ teaspoon nigella seeds optional
  • 1 tablespoon microgreens optional
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Get all of your ingredients, and put them in the food processor. Pulse mixture until you get a very smooth dip (it's ok to run the food processor for around 5 minutes to get a super smooth dip).
  • Depending on how smooth you like your hummus to be, add water but really carefully as you don't want to thin the hummus out too much.
  • Add to a bowl, and spread it out using a spoon. Drizzle with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil, and garnish with sumac, sesame seeds, nigella seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pomegranate seeds, or whatever you have available.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I don't recommend freezing this hummus.
  • Serve with pita bread, naan bread, crackers, or veggie sticks.
  • If you don't have tahini available, you can leave it out or substitute with peanut butter.
