Follow The Directions

01

Step

2 mins

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, garlic, cumin, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. (2 minutes)

02

Step

3 mins

Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. (3-5 minutes)

03

Step

1 mins

Add the chopped chickweed to the food processor. (1 minute)

04

Step

1 mins

Pulse until the chickweed is finely minced and evenly incorporated into the hummus. Avoid over-processing, which can make the hummus bitter. (1-2 minutes)

05

Step

1 mins

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for brightness, cumin for warmth, or salt and pepper to your preference. (1 minute)

06

Step

1 mins

Transfer the chickweed hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of paprika, if desired. Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers.

For a smoother hummus, remove the skins from the chickpeas before blending.
If you don't have fresh chickweed, you can substitute with other leafy greens like spinach or parsley, but the flavor profile will be different.
This hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
