Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas or 1 15 ounce can well-drained
  • 1/4 cup raw tahini paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  • Take a high-powered blender or a food processor, add chickpea, tahini paste, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and sauce. Puree until a smooth paste is formed.
  • Scrape the sides and bottom with a batter spoon and mix it for another 30 seconds. It will make the ingredients creamier and smooth for hummus.
  • Add the water and continue processing for about 3 minutes to get a very creamy hummus.
  • Taste and adjust the flavors of hummus as necessary. You can garnish the top of hummus of choice and serve. You can cover leftover hummus in a container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
