Makes

1 serving

Ingredients

• 1 Deli Kitchen Garlic Tear & Share Flatbread, for dipping
• 1 (15-ounce) canned chickpeas
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice, 1 large lemon
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) well-stirred tahini
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 ml) water
• Dash ground paprika, for serving
• Salt to taste

Method

1. In a food processor, combine tahini and lemon juice. Process for 1 minute, then scrape the sides and bottom.
2. Add olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the tahini mixture. Process for 30 seconds, scrape the sides again, and process for another 30 seconds until well blended.
3. Open, drain, and rinse the chickpeas. Add half of them to the food processor and process for 1 minute. Scrape the sides, then add the remaining chickpeas and process for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
4. If the hummus is too thick or has bits of chickpea, slowly add 2-3 tablespoons of water with the processor running until you reach the desired consistency.
5. Taste for salt and adjust if needed. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of paprika.
6. Dip the Garlic Tear & Share Flatbread pieces into the hummus and enjoy!
