Basic Hummus (oil free)
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 Servings
Hummus is a spread made from chickpeas, tahini (ground sesame seeds), lemon juice, garlic, and, traditionally, oil.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked or canned chickpeas rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons well-stirred tahini
- 2 small garlic cloves minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt + more to taste
- ¼ - ½ cup water
Instructions
- Add all ingredients (except water) in order listed to a food processor and begin processing. Add ¼ cup water through the feed tube and process continuously (for up to 4 minutes) until creamy.
- Add more water as needed to achieve your desired consistency. Taste and reseason with salt if needed. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
You can also make this in a blender. Start on low and increase to high until a creamy consistency is reached. Do not blend for 4 minutes! This recommendation applies to food processors only.
