How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 1 (15 ounce) can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 33333333/100000000 cup tahini (Note 1)
- 33333333/100000000 cup water
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove(s), minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional, for creamier hummus)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin (Note 2)
- olive oil, for topping
Instructions
- Step 1 (Optional): Place the chickpeas in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Add the baking soda and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. The chickpeas will be very soft, with their skins falling off. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly, there is no need to peel off the skins. Set aside.
- Step 2: Add all of the ingredients to a food processor. Pulse until the hummus is super smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and top with a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: A good tahini can make a world of difference in how this recipe turns out. Look for a tahini that's light in color and very runny. It should taste rich and slightly sweet, not at all abrasive or overly bitter. Our favorite is this one. Note 2: Substituting ground coriander for the cumin is also delicious. Or try a spicy version using a heaping 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper instead of cumin. Note 3: Want some flavor ideas? Add .5 cup of roasted bell pepper, beets, or butternut squash here.
