Hummus
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas, or 100g dry chickpeas
- 4 tbsp tahini
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cumin seeds or ground cumin
Directions
-
If using dry chickpeas, soak them overnight, then cook them for 60–90 minutes. Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid (aquafaba).
-
In a blender or food processor, blend together the garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and salt. Afterwards, let everything sit for 5–10 minutes. The lemon will take the pungency off the garlic.
-
Add the tahini and let everything process for a few more minutes, until the tahini turns a bright white color. If necessary, add some aquafaba to loosen the mix.
-
Incorporate the chickpeas, plus some extra aquafaba, and blend everything together. Try putting just enough aquafaba for the blender to function properly, then let it run for a few minutes, until the hummus is light and smooth.
-
Depending on the taste and texture you want, adujst with more tahini, lemon juice, salt and/or aquafaba.
