Why Make Hummus at Home?
Hummus is a beloved Middle Eastern dish that has gained popularity all around the world for its creamy texture and rich flavors. While store-bought hummus is convenient, making it at home allows you to customize the ingredients to your liking and ensures a fresher, more authentic taste.
Ingredients You Will Need:
- 1 can of chickpeas (15 oz), drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup of tahini
- 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water (to adjust consistency)
Steps to Make the Perfect Hummus:
- Prepare the Chickpeas: In a food processor, blend the chickpeas until smooth. Add a bit of water if needed to help with the blending process.
- Add the Tahini and Lemon Juice: Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper to the chickpeas. Blend until well combined and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency: If the hummus is too thick, you can add more water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and Adjust Seasonings: Taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings as needed. You can add more lemon juice, garlic, or salt based on your preference.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with a dash of cumin. Serve with your favorite dippers like pita bread, veggies, or crackers.
