Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½-1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to food processor. Puree to make smooth, about 45 second to 1 minute. Add water if needed to reach desired consistency. I usually add about 2-3 tablespoon of water. Serve immediately or store in fridge until ready.

Notes

  • Do not replace fresh rosemary with dried. It is much more concentrated and will mess up the flavor.
  • Use quality olive oil and tahini as part of the taste comes from both ingredients.
  • While store-bought bottles can be quite convenient, they lack in flavor compared to the real thing. It really isn't that much extra work to freshly squeeze the lemon and you'll notice a difference in flavor.
  • If the rosemary hummus is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
