Best Hummus Ever

There is seriously a problem with this hummus. Once you make it and taste what full-on amazing hummus tastes like, you’ll be ruined for every other grocery store version!

The other thing to note about this recipe is to 100% “play with your food”. The amount of lemon, or tahini, or spice … is totally custom to your palate. 

So taste as you go and be bold with your flavor selection! 

You’ll Need:

• 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• ⅓ cup smooth tahini*
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, more to taste
• 1 garlic clove
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 3+ tablespoons water
• Spicing of your choice, which could include paprika, cayenne, cumin, or other to your taste!

What To Do

In a high-speed blender, place the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until very smooth, and taste for a couple of things:

• Salt
• Lemonyness (I typically add a bit more here for the flavor, but also because it thins out the texture as well)
• Nuttiness from the tahini
• Spicing (my favorite is cumin, to get a classic middle eastern flavor in there)
• Texture (thin it down with a few tablespoons of water until the texture is where you want it)

Once you have a bead on what flavors it needs, make those corrections. 

Transfer to a large bowl, and enjoy!
