Hummus Recipe
Report
This hummus recipe is a smooth and creamy blend of chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and seasonings. Homemade hummus so much better than anything you'd get at the store, and it also happens to be quite easy to make!

Ingredients
- 15 ounce can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon garlic roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup Tahini
- 4 tablespoons olive oil plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons water or more if needed
- fresh chopped parsley and smoked paprika for garnish optional
Instructions
- Place the lemon juice and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Puree, then let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes. This will neutralize the harsh flavor of the raw garlic.
- Place the chickpeas in a pot of boiling water. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until very soft.
- Drain the chickpeas. Remove the skins if desired (optional).
- Place the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, salt, cumin and water in the food processor along with the lemon juice mixture. Puree until smooth. Add more water as needed, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
- Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Place the hummus in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with paprika and chopped parsley if desired. Serve.
Notes
- This recipe includes a few extra steps such as boiling the canned chickpeas, removing the chickpea skins and letting the garlic soak in lemon juice. These steps are a bit more work, but they do wonders to enhance the flavor and the texture of the end product.
- You can make this recipe in either a food processor or in a high powered blender. Be sure to scrape the bowl occasionally to make sure everything gets pureed nicely.
