Creamy Hummus
Creamy Hummus is a delicious, smooth, and versatile dip that has become a staple in many households worldwide. Made from blended chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil, this Mediterranean classic is both nutritious and satisfying. Whether served with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a spread in sandwiches, hummus is the perfect addition to any meal or snack.
Ingredients
- 28 Oz Chickpeas 2 cans
- 2-4 Tbsp Water or Canning Liquid
- 1 Tbsp Garlic minced
- ⅓ Cup Lemon Juice
- 3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp Cumin Powder roasted
- ½ Tsp Sea Salt
- 2 Tbsp Tahini
- Smoked Paprika optional to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Remove the skins from as many chickpeas as possible. Leaving the skins in results in a grainier texture. Add the Chickpeas to a container with a lid, shake vigorously to smash the chickpeas against each other to loosen the skin, and then wash under water so the skins float to the top and you can skim off.
- Add the Chickpeas and water to a processor, and process until smooth, may takes a 4-5 minutes, may need to scrape the sides of the processor in between.
- Add the Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Garlic, Cumin Powder, and Salt and process until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the Tahini and then process until incorporated, and Hummus is light and creamy. Should only take 30-40 seconds of processing.
- Transfer the Hummus to a bowl, drizzle on additional Extra Virgin Olive Oil with a sprinkling of Paprika.
- Enjoy with Pita Bread!
Notes
- Storage: Store homemade hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before serving.
- Make-Ahead: Hummus can be made ahead of time and tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with warm pita bread, sliced vegetables, or use as a spread in sandwiches and wraps.
