Hummus Recipe

STEP 1

Rinse the Chickpeas
Begin by thoroughly rinsing 1 can of chickpeas in a colander under cold running water. This step helps remove any excess salt or preservatives. Once they’re well rinsed, transfer the chickpeas to the bowl of your food processor. Add 60 ml of oil to enhance the creaminess, then blend until the mixture is nearly smooth. This should create a rich and flavorful base for your hummus.

STEP 2

Blend in Flavor
Next, add 1 small crushed garlic clove, the juice of 1 lemon, and 3 tablespoons of tahini to the food processor. Blend again until everything is well combined. If you find that the consistency is too thick for your taste, gradually pour in up to 30 ml of water, blending until the hummus reaches that silky, smooth texture you desire. Aim to blend for about 5 minutes to achieve that perfect creaminess.

STEP 3

Season and Serve
Once your hummus is beautifully blended, season it with a generous pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors. Carefully transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. To make it visually appealing, use the back of a dessert spoon to create a lovely swirl on top, and drizzle with a bit of olive oil for an extra touch of richness. For the finishing touch, serve it alongside a colorful assortment of crunchy crudités and warm, toasted pita bread. Enjoy your delicious, homemade hummus!
