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

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.

Tips:

  • Use dried chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are more flavorful and nutritious than canned chickpeas. If you use dried chickpeas, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking them.
  • Cook your chickpeas until they are very soft: The softer the chickpeas, the smoother your hummus will be. You can cook them in a pressure cooker, slow cooker, or on the stovetop.
  • Use a good quality tahini: Tahini is the main ingredient in hummus, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a tahini that is made from 100% sesame seeds and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Season your hummus to taste: Hummus should be flavorful, but not too overpowering. Start with a basic recipe and then add more seasonings to taste.
  • Garnish your hummus with fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor and color to your hummus. Try garnishing it with parsley, cilantro, cumin, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Hummus is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dip, spread, or sandwich filling. It's a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious hummus at home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, reach for a bowl of hummus.
