Ingredients
-
1/4 cup
tahini
-
1/4 cup
fresh lemon juice
-
2 tablespoons
olive oil, plus more for serving
-
1/4 cup
rough chopped fresh parsley
-
1/4 cup
rough chopped fresh cilantro
-
2
jalapeno peppers, seeds & stems removed, chopped

2
large garlic cloves, minced
-
15 ounces
can of chickpeas, drained & rinsed
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt, more to taste
-
2
green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
-
Add the tahini and lemon juice to food processor and process for about 1 minute. Use a plastic spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
-
Add olive oil, parsley, cilantro, jalapenos, onion, garlic and salt. Process for about 1 minute, scraping down the bowl as necessary.
-
Add the chickpeas and process until the hummus has a thick and smooth texture... normally 1 or 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl a few times while processing.
-
If hummus is too thick, run the food processor while slowly adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water, until it reaches the desired consistency.
-
Transfer the hummus into a small serving bowl. Drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil on top and sprinkle with additional chopped herbs and green onions.
-
Store hummus in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
