The Only Hummus Recipe You Need
This hummus is so easy to make. It takes a little extra time to peel the chickpeas, but the result makes it so worth it!
Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2-4 tbsp aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 1-3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove roughly chopped
- salt to taste
- za'atar for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Open can of chickpeas and drain aquafaba (liquid from chickpeas) into a separate bowl and save for later. Then remove skin from each chickpea and add to the bowl of a food processor. An easy method for peeling is just to gently squeeze the skin at the top of the chickpea and it will pop right out of the skin!
- After all chickpeas have been peeled and added to the food processor, add tahini, olive oil, garlic, 1/4 tsp of salt, and 1 tbsp of lemon juice. Turn it on and let it start processing. Add chickpea liquid a tablespoon at a time, until it starts smoothing out.
- Once you've reached a smooth consistency, turn the food processor off and taste. It will probably need more salt and lemon juice, so just adjust to your liking and process again until everything is combined!
- Place in your favorite serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and top with your favorite spice or seasoning. I really like za'atar on this. Enjoy!
