My go-to recipe when making hummus! This is definitely fool-proof, and I've made it countless times and will make countless more because, well, I love hummus and can never get enough!
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups (250g) cooked chickpeas*
  • 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup (60ml) hulled tahini
  • ½ small lemon, juiced
  • 2 tbsp (40ml) olive oil
  • 4-5 tbsp (80-100ml) water or reserved chickpea water (if you cooked your own chickpeas)
  • Pink himalayan salt
Instructions
  1. Start by adding your chickpeas to the food processor. Blend the chickpeas until they become a coarse and clumpy powder, then add the tahini, salt, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice before blending again.
  2. With the blades still going, add your water 1 tablespoon at a time until your hummus is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust any seasoning, adding more salt, lemon, or tahini according to your taste.
  3. Keep the hummus in an airtight container (or cling wrapped bowl) in the fridge until you’re ready to serve!
Notes
*To cook your chickpeas simply soak dried chickpeas overnight (12 hours minimum) and drain. Add to a pan with double the amount of water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 1 hour, then drain while reserving some of the water for use in the hummus. Peel off as many skins as you can, and store any leftover chickpeas in the fridge. Done!
