Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas - 400 g, drained and rinsed
  • 0.25 cup tahini - about 60 g
  • 1 pcs lemon - juiced (about 2–3 tbsp)
  • 1 clove garlic - peeled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil - plus more for drizzling
  • 3 tbsp water - cold, add as needed for texture
  • 0.5 tsp salt - plus more to taste

Steps

  1. In a food processor, blend tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and salt for 30–60 seconds until creamy.
  2. Add drained chickpeas and blend 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides, until smooth.
  3. With the processor running, add cold water 1 tbsp at a time until the hummus is light and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust salt/lemon. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days. For extra-smooth hummus, blend a little longer and add water gradually. Optional: top with paprika, chopped parsley, or toasted sesame seeds.
