hummus
Servings: 6
- 1 can chickpeas
- 0.67 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 8 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine the tahini and lemon juice and process for 1 minute.
- Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then process for 30 seconds more. This extra time helps whip the tahini to make it smooth.
- Add the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Process for 30 seconds.
- Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, and then process for another 30 seconds.
- Add half of the chickpeas to the food processor and process for 1 minute.
- Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add the remaining chickpeas and process them until thick and relatively smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
Notes
- Feel free to add additional spices when you add the cumin.
- Garlic powder works great as a substitute.
- Keep the speed on low so the hummus doesn't get too smooth.
