Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups cooked chickpeas, peeled (from 1 to 1 1/4 cup dry chickpeas or from quality canned chickpeas. See recipe notes for more instructions on cooking and peeling chickpeas)
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
3 to 4 ice cubes
1/3 cup (79 grams) tahini paste
½ tsp kosher salt
Juice of 1 lemon
Hot water (if needed)
Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil
Sumac

Steps:

  • Add chickpeas and minced garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Puree until a smooth, powder-like mixture forms.
  • While processor is running, add ice cubes, tahini, salt, and lemon juice. Blend for about 4 minutes or so. Check, and if the consistency is too thick still, run processor and slowly add a little hot water. Blend until you reach desired silky smooth consistency.
  • Spread in a serving bowl and add a generous drizzle of Early Harvest EVOO. Add a few chickpeas to the middle, if you like. Sprinkle sumac on top. Enjoy with warm pita wedges and your favorite veggies.

THE BEST HUMMUS



The Best Hummus image

This is a classic tahini-forward, bright and lemony hummus, and is similar to what you would find in Israel. We tried this recipe with from-scratch dried chickpeas as well as with canned, and the flavor and texture were only marginally better with the freshly cooked. And we saved 24 hours of prep time! So for a creamy, satisfying 15-minute hummus, we're going with the can.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 15.5-ounce can chickpeas
2/3 cup tahini
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, plus more if desired
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more if desired
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Hot smoked paprika, for sprinkling
Toasted pita bread, pita chips or cut raw vegetables, for serving

Steps:

  • Drain the chickpeas in a medium mesh sieve, reserving the liquid. Reserve about 7 chickpeas for garnish.
  • Process the tahini, garlic and cumin in a food processor. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup of the reserved chickpea liquid (if you don't have exactly 2/3 cup, add water until the total amount is 2/3 cup) and process until light and very creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. The mixture will appear broken at first but will come together after all the liquid is added and has been processed for a minute or two.
  • Add the chickpeas, the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the tahini mixture. Process until the mixture is extremely smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally, about 4 minutes. Thin with more water if you prefer a looser consistency. Taste and season with more salt, lemon juice or cumin as desired.
  • Spoon the hummus into a shallow bowl, making a well in the center, and drizzle liberally with oil. Top with the reserved chickpeas and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with pita bread, pita chips or cut raw vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chickpeas. Dried chickpeas are best for making hummus because they have a more intense flavor than canned chickpeas. If you use canned chickpeas, be sure to rinse and drain them thoroughly before using.
  • Soak the chickpeas overnight. Soaking the chickpeas overnight will help them to cook more evenly and will also make them easier to digest. If you don't have time to soak the chickpeas overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute and then letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a food processor or blender. A food processor or blender is the best way to get a smooth and creamy hummus. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the chickpeas by hand, but it will take longer and the hummus will not be as smooth.
  • Add flavorings to taste. Hummus is a versatile dish that can be flavored in many different ways. Some popular flavorings include garlic, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, and paprika. You can also add roasted vegetables, herbs, or nuts to your hummus for extra flavor.
  • Serve hummus with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers. Hummus is a great appetizer or snack. It can be served with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers. You can also use hummus as a sandwich spread or as a dip for chicken or fish.

Conclusion:

Hummus is a delicious and healthy dip, spread, or snack that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a food processor or blender, you can make a batch of hummus in minutes. Hummus is a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, and potassium. Enjoy hummus as part of a healthy diet!
