🌰 Hummus Ingredients

• 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
• 1/4 cup well-stirred tahini (sesame paste)
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 to 3 tablespoons water
• Salt to taste
• Paprika or chopped parsley (for garnish)

🍛 How To Make Hummus

1. Blend tahini and lemon juice: Add tahini and lemon juice to a food processor and blend for 1 minute until creamy and whipped.
2. Add flavorings: Add garlic, olive oil, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Process for another 30 seconds.
3. Add chickpeas: Add half of the chickpeas and blend for 1 minute. Scrape the sides, then add the rest and blend until smooth.
4. Adjust texture: Add 2–3 tablespoons of water (or more as needed) until the hummus reaches your desired creaminess.
5. Serve: Spoon into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika or parsley.

💭 Recipe Tips

• For extra creaminess: Remove the chickpea skins before blending.
• Add flavor: Try roasted garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, or red peppers for a twist.
• Make it lighter: Replace some tahini with Greek yogurt for a tangier, lower-fat version.
• Use ice water: A few tablespoons of ice-cold water makes hummus extra smooth.
• Prep ahead: It tastes even better after chilling for an hour.

🥙 What To Serve With Hummus?

Serve hummus with warm pita bread, pita chips, or fresh vegetables like cucumber, carrot sticks and bell pepper. It also makes a great sandwich spread, burger topping, or side with grilled meats and falafel.

🎚 How To Store Leftovers Hummus?

• Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Drizzle with a little olive oil before serving to refresh the flavor.
• Freeze: Hummus freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and stir before serving.
