Ingredients
Homemade Hummus
- 3 cups cooked or canned chickpeas, skins removed
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup tahini paste
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Hot water (if needed for desired thickness)
- Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Sumac for garnish
Directions
- Add chickpeas and minced garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Puree until a smooth, powder-like mixture forms.
- While the food processor is running, add ice cubes, tahini, salt, and lemon juice. Blend for about 4 minutes or so. Check, and if the consistency is too thick still, run the processor and slowly add a little hot water. Blend until you reach desired silky-smooth consistency.
- Spread in a serving bowl and add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Add a few chickpeas to the middle, if you like. Sprinkle sumac on top. Enjoy with warm pita wedges and your favourite veggies.
