Chef John's Green Hummus image

This simple, basil-spiked 'green' hummus is a great summer twist on everyone's favorite spread. Turkey on wheat? Yawn. Turkey on wheat with green hummus? Hello! And don't even get me started on wraps. I won't even touch a wrap that doesn't contain hummus, and neither should you.

Time 10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

⅓ cup firmly packed fresh basil leaves
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the basil and cook uncovered until bright green, about 20 seconds. Immediately plunge basil in ice water until cold. Squeeze basil to remove excess moisture and pat dry with a paper towel.

I've made this hummus with different types of beans, and it always turns out great. I've used chickpeas, black beans, and even lentils.

This recipe is a great base for hummus. I like to add roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for a bit of extra flavor.

The hummus was a bit too lemony for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I always have a bunch of cilantro and parsley in my fridge, and this is the perfect way to use them up.
