Follow along with the 📝 recipes below👇🏾👇🏾
Ingredients
- 400 gr canned chickpeas (~14 oz, ~0.9 lb)
- 6 tablespoons tahini
- 1 lemon
- 6 cubes of ice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Half teaspoon salt
- to garnish:
- ground sumac
- ground cumin
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Parsley
Instructions
- For a perfectly smooth hummus first, you need to peel the chickpeas. Add 400 gr
canned chickpeas in a large bowl and rub to take the skin off. - Fill the bowl with water and skins will start to float. When you drain, skins will group
on water and it will be much easier to collect. - Add peeled chickpeas, 2 cloves of garlic, half of a teaspoon salt, 6 tablespoons of
tahini and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to a food processor. - Squeeze a lemon juice and run for 7-8 minutes at low-medium speed.
- While the food processor is working the hummus will get warm. To avoid that add 6
cubes of ice gradually. ıce will help to make smooth hummus as well. - After a couple of minutes, hummus will be okay but not smooth enough. Don’t give
up and continue until the hummus is creamy. You can run at high speed at this stage. - Taste and adjust the lemon, tahini, and salt to your taste. Garlic and olive oil always
need time to settle. If you have 2-3 hours before eating the taste will be better. - When the hummus is ready put it on the serving table and makes a little crater with the
back of a spoon. - Sprinkle ground sumac, cumin, and parsley leaves. Last but not least pour 2-3
tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Enjoy your creamy, tasty, simple hummus with your lavash or chips as your spoon!
