Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons water or aquafaba (liquid from chickpea can), to desired consistency
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chickpeas: Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess sodium and improve the flavor and texture. For extra smooth hummus, optionally peel the skins from each chickpea.
  2. Blend Core Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the rinsed chickpeas, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, ground cumin, and salt. Pulse until roughly combined.
  3. Add Olive Oil and Liquid: Slowly drizzle in olive oil while blending to create a creamy base. Add water or aquafaba in small amounts to reach your preferred creamy consistency.
  4. Adjust Flavors and Texture: Taste the hummus and add more salt, lemon juice, or garlic if needed. Blend again briefly to mix any additions smoothly.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Transfer hummus to a bowl, drizzle with extra olive oil, and sprinkle with your favorite herbs, smoked paprika, or toasted pine nuts before serving.

Notes

  • Peel chickpeas for an ultra-smooth texture.
  • Use aquafaba for extra creaminess without added oil.
  • Blend thoroughly but avoid overheating your blender or food processor.
  • Add lemon juice gradually to balance acidity to your taste.
  • Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to develop deeper flavor.
