Description

This will be the creamiest hummus you’ve ever made!  Enjoy as a dip, on a salad or in a wrap!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 23 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Cayenne powder, to taste
  • Ice water

Instructions

  1. Open the cans of chickpeas and drain them, while saving the chickpea juice.  Add the chickpeas to a medium sized pot, along with the baking soda and cover with water.  Bring to a boil and boil for 20 minutes.  Drain and set aside.
  2. Add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice and a splash of reserved chickpea juice to a food processor and blend until smooth, about 1 minutes.  Next, add the chickpeas, olive oil, salt, cumin and cayenne and turn the food processor on.  Slowly add the ice water until desired consistency is reached.  Best if blended for a few minutes.
  3. Enjoy hummus immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
