8 Servings
Ingredients
1 can low sodium chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
1/4 C fresh lemon juice
1 clv garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 C tahini ((optional garnishes: paprika, cumin, or sumac*))
2 Tbsp ice water
1/4 C olive oil
Instructions
Try making hummus at home and you will never go back to store-bought! Great as a dip for crackers, warm pita, and fresh vegetables or the perfect spread for a sandwich, wrap, or to top a grain bowl!
- In a food processor or high speed blender, combine drained chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, salt, tahini, and ice water. Process for 5 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides of the bowl, until mixture is creamy and no chunks of ingredients remain.
- Using the opening at the top of the blender or processor, slowly add in olive oil while machine is running. Add more ice water if more creaminess is desired. Taste and adjust for extra salt or lemon juice.
- Transfer to serving plate, top with desired garnishes and enjoy!
Notes
* Sumac is a common spice in Middle Eastern cooking and is made from grounding up dried berry of the wild sumac flower. It contains a tart, tangy flavor. You can find this spice at most supermarkets in the spice aisle.
