Instructions

  • Drain and rinse the canned garbanzo beans. Remove the outer shell of each bean with your fingers and discard shell, then add to a food processor.
  • Along with the garbanzo beans, add the flesh of the avocado, tahini, lemon juice, chopped garlic, paprika, salt and cayenne if using, and a drizzle of olive oil. Pour in a few tablespoons of ice cold water and pulse together until everything is well combined.
  • Layer the avocado hummus on a wide plate, making a small well in the center with the back of a spoon. Garnish the hummus with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle za'atar, sumac and chopped parsley.
