Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Chickpeas, cooked
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 3 tbsp Tahini
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Roasted cumin powder
- 2-3 tbsp Olive oil Plus some extra for pouring on top
- Cold Water, as needed
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, salt, cumin powder, olive oil, cold water, and salt. Blitz till smooth. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
- If the hummus is too thick, add some more liquid. Once your hummus has reached the consistency you prefer, blitz for a couple minutes extra to make it creamier and fluffier.
- Spoon on to a bowl or plate, top with olive oil and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- When blending, use cold water. It helps emulsify the ingredients better and gives you a hummus as smooth as a store-bought one. Adding a couple of ice cubes gives a fluffier texture.
- Cook the chickpeas well. They should be sort of falling apart when cooked. This will make your hummus super creamy and smooth.
- If using canned chickpeas, simmer them for 10-15 minutes. This will make them softer and easier to blend.
- Choose a good-quality tahini. It should be smooth, slightly runny, and nutty. It makes a huge difference to the taste and texture.
- Take your time blending. When you think the hummus is done, don’t stop. Let the blender work its magic some more, and you’ll end up with that super-light, luscious, and velvety hummus dip.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings. Hummus should be flavorful, bright, and zesty!
- Finish with a drizzle of good-quality extra virgin olive oil!
