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