Ingredients
- 1 15 ounce can chickpeas, peeled, rinsed, and drained
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup good-quality tahini
- 2 –4 tablespoons cold water or more if needed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 medium cloves garlic peeled and smashed
- Juice of 1 lemon 2–3 tablespoons
- optional toppings: extra drizzle of olive oil chopped fresh parsley, sprinkle of paprika, toasted pine nuts
Instructions
- Boil chickpeas for 20 minutes with enough water to cover them & baking soda. Rinse and drain.
- Add tahini, cold water, olive oil, cumin, salt, garlic, and lemon juice to a food processor. Puree until smooth.
- Add in the cooked chickpeas to the food processor. Puree for 3-4 minutes, pausing halfway to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until the hummus is smooth. If it seems too thick, add in another tablespoon or two of cold water.
- Taste and season with additional salt, cumin, and/or lemon juice if needed.
- Serve immediately, garnished with your desired toppings. Or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas well. The liquid in canned chickpeas can be quite salty, so give them a good rinse under cold running water before using.
- It's totally worth peeling your chickpeas before boiling them. This results in extra smooth and creamy hummus.
- Keep covered and refrigerated.
- Hummus can be frozen for short periods of time (up to 1 month). If it separates when you thaw it, you can blend it back together again to serve.
- If you don't have a food processor you could use a high-speed blender to make your own hummus.
