5-Minute Hummus
Use this homemade hummus as a spread for sandwiches or serve as a dip for pita bread and veggies.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce (400gr) can chickpeas
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (half of a lemon)
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp olive oil (+more for drizzling)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cumin
- 2-4 tbsp ice-cold water
- 1 dash ground paprika (for serving)
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas
- In a food processor, combine the tahini, minced garlic and lemon juice and process for 1 minute.
- Add the chickpeas, olive oil, cumin and salt and process for a couple of minutes. The hummus will be too thick or still have tiny bits of chickpea. To fix this, slowly add 2-4 tablespoons of water (with the processor still running) until you reach the perfect consistency. (*see notes)
- Spoon into a bowl and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and dash of paprika on top.
Notes
* Ice-cold water is our trick for a fluffy hummus. Add more water by the tablespoon if necessary to achieve a super creamy texture.
