Discover 2 Tips to making the perfect hummus in your blender in less than 5 minutes!
Ingredients
  • ½ cup (118ml) water
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
  • 1½ to 2 lemons, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons (34g) tahini*
  • Two 15 oz (850g) cans of cooked chickpeas, drained
  • ¼ clove garlic, peeled
  • ⅛ tsp fine salt
  • 2 dashes of cumin
  • 2 dashes of paprika, plus more for garnish
  • 1 loaf artisan bread, toasted and cut into triangle
  • Parsley (optional)
Instructions
  1. Add the liquids to the blender: water, extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice.
  2. Now add: tahini, chickpeas, garlic, salt, cumin and paprika. Blend on speed 4 until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water, moving the hummus to one side and letting the water flow to the bottom. Blend. If needed, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture can easily blend.
  3. Taste. If something tastes “off” start by adding more of the lemon juice. Taste. If needed, adjust with more seasoning.
  4. Put the hummus in a bowl and garnish with a swirl of extra virgin olive oil, paprika and chopped parsley. Serve with toasted artisan bread cut into triangles. Alternatively pita chips and raw vegetables are great, or you can simply use the hummus to garnish your favorite recipes (salads, grains, eggs etc).
  5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  6. *Tahini is a sesame seed paste. You can usually find it in jars in the condiment aisle or in the ethnic section of the supermarket.
