Provided by Alton Brown

Time 15m

Yield 2 1/2 cups hummus (ten 1/4-cup servings)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 pound Slow Cooker Chickpeas, cooled, recipe follows
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup tahini, stirred well
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving
Powdered sumac, optional
7 cups water
1 pound dry chickpeas, sorted and rinsed
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

Place the chickpeas, garlic, and kosher salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process for 15 to 20 seconds. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and process for another 15 to 20 seconds. Add the lemon juice and water. Process for 20 seconds. Add the tahini. Process for 20 seconds, then scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the processor running, drizzle in the olive oil.
To serve, transfer the hummus to a bowl and drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with sumac, to taste, if desired.
Place the water, chickpeas, and baking soda in a 2 1/2-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on high heat for 4 hours, or on low heat for 8 to 9 hours, or until tender. Drain and serve immediately, or use in desired dish.

Tips:

Use dried chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are more flavorful and economical than canned chickpeas. If you're using dried chickpeas, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
Don't overcook the chickpeas: Overcooked chickpeas will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them until they're just tender, about 1 hour.
Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will give you the smoothest hummus. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the hummus for longer.
Add the tahini and lemon juice gradually: This will help you control the flavor and consistency of the hummus. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
Taste the hummus as you go: This is the best way to make sure that the hummus is seasoned to your liking.

Conclusion:

Turbo hummus is a quick and easy way to make delicious hummus at home. With a few simple ingredients and a high-powered blender, you can have fresh, flavorful hummus in just minutes. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack or appetizer, give turbo hummus a try!
