Hummus
Homemade hummus is tastier than storebought and also much cheaper to make.
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
- ⅓ cup smooth tahini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (plus more to taste)
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 2–4 tablespoons water (less for thicker consistency; more for looser consistency)
For garnishing
- extra olive oil, paprika/sumac/chili flakes, or parsley
Instructions
- Add the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cumin to a blender/food processor. Blend for 1-2 minutes until very smooth, adding water as needed to blend and/or reach your desired consistency.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with any of the optional garnishes.
- Serve with pita, chips, veggies, or as a side dish with your favorite Middle Eastern meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
