Units
Scale
- 1 15 oz can organic chickpeas
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup-3/4 cup cold water (depending on how thick you like your hummus)
- olive oil, za’atar, paprika, parsley or whatever you like to top!
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the can of chickpeas, and remove the skins by rolling the chickpeas in a clean kitchen towel. The skins will naturally come off.
- Discard the skins and place the chickpeas in a pot of boiling water with 1/2 tsp baking soda.
- Cook for 8-12 minutes on medium-high heat until the chickpeas are soft. Remove from heat and drain.
- Add the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, salt, cumin, olive oil and lemon juice to a food processor or high-speed blender. blend until everything is smooth, scraping down the edges as needed.
- Begin to add the cold water, adding 1/4 cup at a time and blending to incorporate, for about 5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (salt, cumin, lemon juice)
- Serve topped with olive oil, za’atar spice, paprika, or parsley.
Notes
I use about 1/2 tsp of salt, but depending on the chickpeas you use, you may want to add a bit more salt or seasoning. Taste and adjust accordingly.
This hummus will store well for up to a week in the fridge
