Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cans 15-ounce cans garbanzo beans, drained (reserve juice from one can)
  • 2 large garlic cloves
  • 2 large limes, juiced
  • 1/3 cup tahini paste
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/3 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 large jalapenos, seeded and cut in chunks
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor, except for the reserved garbanzo bean juice.
  2. Pulse until the ingredients are finely blended.
  3. With the processor running, slowly add the reserved garbanzo bean juice until you reach a smooth paste consistency.
  4. Scrape down the bowl and continue to process for one more minute to ensure everything is mixed well.
  5. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, cover it well, and let it stand for at least 1 hour.
  6. Garnish the hummus with your desired toppings, such as cucumbers, olives, or extra jalapenos.
Storage
  1. If not serving immediately, transfer the hummus to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 7 days.
  2. To freeze, place it in airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags.

Notes

For best results, prepare the hummus one day ahead of time. It can also be made healthier with fresh veggies instead of some tahini.
