Hummus Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garbanzo Beans

    If using dried garbanzo beans, soak them overnight, then cook them with baking soda in a large pot of boiling water until tender, about 1-2 hours. If using canned beans, simply rinse and drain them.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the garbanzo beans, salt, lemon juice, tahini, and vegetable oil. Process until smooth, adding water or more oil to achieve desired consistency.

  3. 3

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lemon juice, salt, or tahini to suit your preference.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with paprika or fresh herbs, if desired. Serve with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
