Hummus
Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas (or roughly 2 cups cooked chickpeas) drained, liquid reserved
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt optional
- 3 tbsp tahini
- salt to taste
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper or more to taste
- 1½ tbsp lime juice or more to taste
Instructions
- In a large food processor, fitted with a blade, add the hummus ingredients (chickpeas, garlic, olive oil, Greek yogurt, tahini, salt, cumin, cayenne, and lime juice). Run the food processor to blend until the hummus mixture is smooth.
- Test, and if it’s too thick, add a very little bit of the chickpeas canning liquid. Run the processor again until you achieve the desired creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving dish and cover tightly. Chill a few minutes before serving. Uncover and smooth the surface of the hummus and drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Garnish with fresh parsley or another herb if you like.
- Enjoy with pita bread or pita chips.
