• 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

1. 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.
2. Add olive oil, parsley, cilantro, jalapenos, onion, garlic and salt. Process for about 1 minute, scraping down the bowl as necessary.
3. 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.
4. If hummus is too thick, run the food processor while slowly adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water, until it reaches the desired consistency.
5. 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.
6. Store hummus in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
