Instructions
- Drain and rinse the 30 ounces Chickpeas in a colander.
- If desired you can peel them and discard the thin skin. Get all your ingredients ready.
- Next, add chickpeas, ½ Cup Tahini, ¼ Cup Lemon Juice, 1-2 Garlic Cloves, ¼ Cup water or 3 ice cubes, ¾ teaspoon Ground Cumin, 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Kosher salt and pepper, to taste to a high-powered blender.
- Blend the chickpeas on high for 30 seconds, pause once or twice to scrape the sides down. If the hummus seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water.
- Transfer the hummus into a large bowl, using the back of a large spoon to create swirls in the center. Taste the hummus and add in extra salt, cumin and/or lemon juice if needed.
- To garnish, add A drizzle of olive oil and a dash of paprika, or add on any toppings that you would like. Enjoy!!
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice. Store-bought lemon juice always tastes stale and sad, and it will make your hummus taste stale and sad. Buy lemons, and your humus will taste fresh and delicious.
- For a more mellow-tasting hummus, mince the garlic in the food processor or blender with the lemon juice and let that mixture rest for a few minutes, the garlic will lose its harsh, raw bite and mellow out.
- Sprinkle ground sumac, which is sour and deep pink, it balances out the hummus so well. Or sprinkle on some paprika for a splash of color.
- Top off your dip with sliced pickles for a satisfying crunch.
- For a creamier hummus, tenderize the chickpeas using baking soda in the overnight soaking of the chickpeas,
- Invest in some good tahini like Soom or Al Arz, it's worth it!
