Hummus

Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, continue to cook it, stirring frequently until it starts to foam and turn golden brown. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Once browned, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, tahini, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and the brown butter (including any bits that have settled at the bottom of the pan).

  3. 3

    Add Water and Blend

    Start blending the mixture, and gradually add the water until you reach your desired consistency. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure everything is well blended.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, lemon juice, or tahini according to your preference.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with pita bread and pumpkin seed relish.
