Hummus is a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine—whether you’re slathering it on pita bread, dipping with veggies, or adding it to your charcuterie board, we’ve got an easy recipe for a creamy, smooth dip.
Ingredients
1 can garbanzo beans
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (or less)
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice (or less) freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Salt, pepper, and cumin to taste
Optional Ingredients
Paprika and sumac to top
Directions
-
Drain the garbanzo beans into a pot, reserving the liquid if desired. Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and add enough water to cover the beans. Bring to a boil and simmer until beans begin to burst.
-
Remove from heat and rinse thoroughly. For a creamier hummus, remove the outer skins entirely.
-
In a food processor or a blender, add 2 cloves garlic, tahini, lemon juice, water, and garbanzo beans. Add 1/2 of total lemon juice and 1/2 of total olive oil.
-
Blend on high, adding lemon juice and olive oil as needed to achieve desired consistency.
-
Season with salt, pepper, and cumin.
-
Serve with olive oil and a dash of sumac and paprika (if desired).
