Calling all Chickpea addicts! Here’s a quick and easy hummus recipe using JuJu Royal Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) that goes great with vegetables, as a pita dip, or a sandwich spread.
Hummus
- 1 can chickpeas (15 oz), drained (save water)
- 1/4 cup JuJu Royal Garlic EVOO or JuJu Royal Infused Garlic EVOO
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tbsp chickpea water
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sesame seed paste
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp paprika
Instructions
In a food processor, puree chickpeas, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, sesame seed paste, cumin and salt until creamy and smooth.
To achieve the desired consistency, add chickpea water.
For an authentic presentation, transfer hummus to a bowl and create a well in the center to hold a pool of olive oil. Drizzle additional olive oil and sprinkle with paprika.
Pita Chips

- 3 tbsp JuJu Royal Infused Rosemary EVOO
