Simply Hummus Recipie

Simply Hummus!

Ingredients 1 Can chickpeas, rinsed 1 teaspoon of Garlic (add more if desired) 3 tablespoon of olive oil, (plus more for serving) 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
(Optional) Additional Ingredients if deserved:
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste; optional) 1 teaspoon ground cumin  Pinch of kosher salt (desired taste) 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions In a food processor, puree the chickpeas and garlic with the olive oil, lemon juice,  (if using) until smooth and creamy.  Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water as necessary to achieve the desired consistency.. I like it pasty. so I don't add water. Transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the a lil paprika before serving.

In this Hummus I made for my daughter so she requested to be as simple and natural to taste as possible, That's why I didn't add the Optional or additional ingredients that its a custom to be part of the Hummus.  As you can see you can create this Hummus with or with out all ingredients.
I use my simply Hummus on whole wheat pita, with vegetables, and stuffed into romaine lettuce heart leaves.
Hummus can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be kept in the freezer for up to one month. Add a little olive oil if it appears to be too dry.

Enjoy!
