Garlicky Homemade Hummus
You will never buy storebought again after you realize how simple it is to make hummus at home!
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 2 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoon tahini paste
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Place all of your ingredients except the olive oil into your blender.
- Pulse together at a medium speed, adding olive slowly as it blends.
- Blend for about 2-3 minutes, depending on how creamy you like it.
- OPTIONAL: If it's not as creamy as you'd like it to be, add ¼ cup of water at a time and blend until it reaches your ideal consistency.
Notes
- Use good quality tahini. It’s a big part of the flavor.
- Don’t skip the lemon juice. That brightness is what brings everything to life.
- Blend longer than you think you need to. That’s how you get that ultra-smooth texture.
- And if you want to take it up a notch, drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika or fresh herbs right before serving.
