Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can garbanzo beans
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Rinse and drain garbanzo beans. Add them to the bowl of a food processor, and process until they are crumbly and kind of resemble a graham cracker crust.
- Add the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin and sea salt to the food processor. Process for 1 minute and then scrape the sides of the bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water and process for a full 5 minutes. If the mixture seems too dry, add the other tablespoon of water and continue to process until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and add salt and lemon juice to your preference if you feel like it needs it.
- Remove with a rubber spatula into a serving bowl and chill until ready to serve. When you are ready to serve, drizzle the top with a bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika and chopped fresh parsley as a garnish. Serve with your favorite fresh veggies, pita triangles, or soft pretzels.
