Hummus Recipe

Specials

1. 1

   Prep and rinse

   Drain the chickpeas and rinse under cold water; reserve 1-2 tablespoons of aquafaba (the chickpea liquid) in case you want to thin the hummus later.

2. 2

   Blend base

   In a food processor or blender, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, and salt. Blend on high until the mixture is thick and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

3. 3

   Adjust texture

   With the processor running, slowly add water (or aquafaba) in 1 tablespoon increments until the hummus reaches a smooth, scoopable consistency.

4. 4

   Taste and adjust

   Taste the hummus and adjust salt or lemon juice if needed. If you prefer creamier hummus, blend a bit longer.

5. 5

   Serve

   Spoon into a serving bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with pita, vegetables, or use as a spread.
