Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp tahini
  • 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin olive oil
  • 1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans/ chick peas
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 medium garlic clove
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • Salt to taste and paprika to taste
  • Tips for the Perfect Hummus Every Time
  • Measure the ingredients that way it will have a consistent flavor.
  • Use the water from the can of chick peas (not tap or bottled water), this helps make the hummus fluffy because did you know this stuff whips up like cream does?
  • Use good guality ingredients and stick with fresh lemon juice not anything from a bottle.
  • Watch out for rancid tahini. If it’s gone bad it will have a strong sharp unpleasant flavor and can ruin the hummus.
  • This is the perfect ratio in my opinion but if you like a little more tahini or garlic feel free to add some for a strong flavor.
  • Let it blenddddd. 5 minutes in the food processor really allows it time to puree the chickpeas and whip it up nice and fluffy.

Preparation

Step 1


To a food processor you’ll add chick peas, 2 Tbsp liquid from chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and cumin. Season with salt to taste (I use about 1/2 tsp).

Process the mixture for 5 minutes while stopping and scraping the sides once through mixing, and adding additional liquid from chick peas to thin as needed.

Plate and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika. Store in refrigerator.

Note that the dip thickens up once chilled, thin with more liquid as desired.
