🥙 Hummus

🛒 The ingredients

  • 240g canned Chickpeas

  • 60-ish grams of Tahini

  • Lemon juice (start with half a lemon)

  • 1 clove of Garlic

  • 20-ish grams of Olive Oil

  • 2-4 grams of Salt

🧑‍🍳 The how

  • Start by draining the liquid from your canned chickpeas and rinsing them under cold water.

  • As you rinse them, you want to be a bit rough and get rid of the skins. This is VERY important. The more the skins, the less smooth your hummus is.

  • Add everything to your food processor (or blender) and process (or blend).

    • I like to add the ice cubes incrementally to both introduce water and cool things down.

  • You'll need some patience here as it'll take a couple of minutes (depending on how powerful your machine is) for everything to come together and reach a smooth consistency.

  • Taste as you and adjust the lemon juice, olive oil and salt.

  • Profit?

🗒️ Notes

  • It is super important that you remove as much of the skins as possible while you rinse your chickpeas.

  • Your hummus will probably thicken up a bit in the fridge so maybe account for that before you finish.

^ What's this? Me stressing once again that you need to get rid of those skins. skins === bad.


^ Things will start off like this and take a bit before it all comes together.


^ Trust the process and you'll reach this smooth consistency. At this point, you can adjust for taste but don't over-mix.


^ You can serve as-is with Olive Oil or mix things up like I did here with some grilled chicken!


Enjoy! ^ _ ^
