Equipment

Ingredients

16 oz chick peas
1 small onion chopped
1 clove garlic
½ tablespoons dried parsley
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons olive oil plus extra for serving

Instructions

Place chickpeas in a saucepan, cover with water, and simmer for 10 minutes to soften skins. Drain.
Drain the chickpeas and then add them to a blender or food processor. Add remaining ingredients to the blender or food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth. Add a splash of cooking water if needed to make the hummus light and fluffy.
Taste and adjust salt, lemon, or spices, as needed.
Spoon into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and serve.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You may need to stir before serving if separation occurs.

I do not recommend freezing.
