Hummus is the perfect dip to have as part of a grazing board, or to have on hand as a snack and making it at home is easier than you think.

Ingredients

1 can chickpeas, thoroughly washed and if you want to go the extra mile, remove the skins

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup hulled tahini

2 garlic clove, minced

1 tsp ground cumin

Salt to taste

2 to 3 tbsp very cold water

For serving - a dash of paprika or sumac, plus a drizzle of olive oil

Make it a spicy hummus with a drizzle of Everiday Garlic Chili Oil

Instructions

1

DONE!

In a food processor, combine the tahini and lemon juice and process for 1 minute, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then process for 30 seconds more. This extra time helps “whip” the tahini, making the hummus smooth and creamy.

2

DONE!

Add the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, and a 1/2 tsp of salt to the whipped tahini and lemon juice. Process for 30 seconds, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then process another 30 seconds or until well blended.

3

DONE!

Add half of your chickpeas to the food processor and process for 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom of the bowl, then add remaining chickpeas and process until thick and smooth.

4

DONE!

At this point the the hummus will be quite thick or still have tiny bits of chickpea. To fix this, with the food processor turned on, slowly add 2 to 3 tbsp of VERY COLD water until you reach the consistency you like.
