Ingredients
- 300 g chickpeas (10 oz) drained
- 1 garlic clove peeled
- 4 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon harissa paste
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
Toppings ideas
- fresh parsley
- toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
- Place the drained and rinsed chickpeas in a food processor or blender. Add the garlic clove, spices, and harissa paste. Blend until chickpeas are mashed and combined with the other ingredients. Scrape sides occasionally to help the blending process.
- Slowly add olive oil, one tablespoon at a time, while blending. Use cold water to add to the creaminess and thin the hummus to the desired consistency.
- Taste the hummus and season with salt and lemon juice (optional). Serve with pita bread, crackers, fresh vegetables, and more.
Notes
- Adjust the spiciness – The level of spiciness can vary depending on personal preference. Start with the suggested amount of harissa paste in the recipe, and gradually add more if you desire a hotter hummus.
- Experiment with other spices – Smoked paprika, chipotle powder, or a pinch of cinnamon can add dimension to the hummus.
