Report
Traditional hummus combines just a few simple ingredients for a silky smooth and slightly nutty dip.Yield: 2 c
Share:
Ingredients
- ¾ c chickpeas, dry, soaked overnight (or 2 c cooked chickpeas*)
- ½ small lemon, juiced (roughly 1 Tbsp juice)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 Tbsp Tahini
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ - ½ c chickpea cooking liquid or water
Instructions
- Place soaked and drained chickpeas in a saucepan and cover with 1 inch of water. Cover the saucepan and boil chickpeas until extremely tender, roughly 1 hour.
- Drain the cooked chickpeas, reserving a cup of the boiling liquid.
- Transfer the drained beans to a food processor with the lemon juice, garlic, tahini, and salt. Process until the mixture is well blended. Add the reserved chickpea cooking liquid (or water, if you forgot to reserve the liquid) a little at a time, blending after each addition, until your hummus reaches a silky smooth consistency.
Notes
- *If you'd like to use canned chickpeas, you will need 2 cans for this recipe. Drain the chickpeas before adding them to the food processor, but reserve the liquid to use in thinning out your hummus, as needed.
- This recipe was updated in December 2016. We made the hummus even more flavorful! Enjoy!
