Delicious Hummus

This is so quick and easy to make. I prefer to use a food processor but you can use a high powered blender.

Equipment

  • Food processor or high speed blender
  • Stove

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained I prefer canned vs. dry chickpeas for expediency
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice add more if you want more zing
  • 1 clove garlic In my opinion, you can never have too much garlic, so make it a big clove
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt add more if needed
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 2-4 tbsp ice water add more if needed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Boil chickpeas and baking soda in enough water to cover chickpeas for about 20 minutes or until chickpeas look swollen and the skins start falling off
  • Drain chickpeas and rinse with cool water. Leave the skins in the strainer. Set aside
  • In food processor or blender, put lemon juice, garlic and salt. Process until garlic is finely chopped and let it sit about 10 minutes
  • Add tahini to food processor and blend until thick and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed
  • While processor is still running, drizzle in the ice water and blend until really creamy. Add more water as needed for creaminess
  • Add cumin and chickpeas and continue blending, scraping again as needed.
  • Drizzle in olive oil while blending
  • Blend until desired creaminess is reached
  • Taste and adjust salt as needed
  • Spoon hummus into a serving bowl and garnish with a little olive oil and paprika. Enjoy!!
