Instructions
  1. In a blender, add garbanzo beans, olive oil, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in the blender. Blend until creamy and well mixed. I always add some of the reserved liquid because we like it super creamy. If you want it creamier, start by adding 1 tablespoon, then mix and see if it’s smooth enough.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a medium serving bowl. Sprinkle with paprika and pepper and pour olive oil over the top. Garnish with cilantro if you like.
  3. Modifications Add one inch of sliced turmeric and ginger to the mix. It gives the hummus a nice kick. You can use a blender or food processor for this recipe.
