Calories: 162kcal
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas drained and rinsed, or 1 and ½ cups (250 g) cooked chickpeas
- 3 tablespoons water plus more if needed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil I use extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 garlic clove peeled
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add the chickpeas, water, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, and salt to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the hummus is too thick.
- Transfer to a bowl and serve with your favorite toppings, such as a drizzle of olive oil, paprika, fresh parsley, or a few whole chickpeas.
Notes
- Store the hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Give it a good stir before serving, since it can thicken as it chills.
- You can freeze it in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Leave a little space at the top because it may expand in the freezer.
- Thaw it overnight in the fridge, then stir until smooth. Add a splash of water or a little olive oil if it needs to loosen up.
