Cumin Seed Hummus

Cumin Seed Hummus

Ingredients:

 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

 1/2 cup tahini

 1/4 cup lemon juice

3 cloves garlic, minced

 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds,

 toasted and ground

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

 Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin seeds, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth.

2. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the hummus is smooth and creamy.

3. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

 For a richer flavor, toast the cumin seeds in a dry skillet over   medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.

 If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the   chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

To make the hummus ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
