Great Homemade Hummus

By nnlester

Ingredients

• 1 jar of jovial organic chickpeas
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Drain chickpeas over a medium bowl to catch the cooking liquid.

Add chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt to the bowl of a food processor.

Process until you have a stiff paste. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of reserved cooking liquid while pulsing the machine until the paste smooths out.

Garnish with a bit of oil and serve

Recipe Notes:

I like to add a drizzle of olive oil on top before serving. I like to keep my hummus simple and generally skip the tahini. If you love tahini, add 2 tablespoons in step 2.
