Ingredients
- ¼ cup tahini
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, (1 large lemon)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
- ¼ cup rough-chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup rough-chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeds and stem removed, chopped
- 3 green onions chopped, more for garnish
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 15-ounce can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ½ teaspoon salt, more to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons water, (optional)
- Garnish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs or green onions
Instructions
- Add the tahini and lemon juice to food processor and process for about 1 minute. Use a plastic spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
- Add olive oil, parsley, cilantro, jalapenos, onion, garlic and salt. Process for about 1 minute, scraping down the bowl as necessary.
- Add the chickpeas and process until the hummus has a thick and smooth texture... normally 1 or 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl a few times while processing.
- If hummus is too thick, run the food processor while slowly adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water, until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Transfer the hummus into a small serving bowl. Drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil on top and sprinkle with additional chopped herbs and green onions..
- Store hummus in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
