WHEW! Hey, gotta cover all bases! There are so many versions of this recipe here and elsewhere, but none just like this one, which I found in "The Best International Recipe" cookbook by Cook's Illustrated. Outstanding balance of flavors. C.I. points out the benefit of rubbing the skins off of the chickpeas/garbanzo beans with a kitchen towel: a far smoother hummus! I'm seriously stunned by how much better this makes it. Also, substituting half of the olive oil in the average recipe with water allows the flavors of all other ingredients to shine and not be overpowered by the olive oil. I used sumac, paprika, cilantro, olive oil and cumin as garnishes in the photographed batch, but you can use more chili powder, parsley, pine nuts or black olives. Serve with pita chips.

Steps:
- After draining the chickpeas well, put them all in a clean, large, cotton (non-terry) kitchen towel. Very gently rub the chickpeas to loosen their skins. Open the towel and discard all skins.
- Process all ingredients except for the garnishes in a food processor or blender until smooth, about 40 seconds. You may need to stop and occasionally scrape down the sides of the vessel.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- To serve, remove from fridge, garnish with your selections, and serve with toasted pita chips.
Tips
- When making hummus, it is important to use dried chickpeas that have been soaked overnight. This will help them to cook more evenly and will result in a smoother hummus.
- If you don't have time to soak the chickpeas overnight, you can use canned chickpeas. However, be sure to rinse them well before using them.
- To make the hummus extra creamy, you can add a little bit of tahini. Tahini is a sesame seed paste that will give the hummus a richer flavor and a smoother texture.
- If you don't have tahini, you can substitute another nut or seed butter, such as almond butter or cashew butter.
- To make the hummus more flavorful, you can add a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, and paprika.
- If you want a spicier hummus, you can add a little bit of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
- To make the hummus more tangy, you can add a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar.
- If you want a smoother hummus, you can blend it in a food processor or blender until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Hummus can be served as a dip, a spread, or a sandwich filling. It is also a great way to add protein and fiber to your diet.
Conclusion
Hummus is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. By following these tips, you can make the perfect hummus every time.
