Cuisine: Mediterranean

Ingredients
  

For the Hummus:
  • 3 cups canned chickpeas
  • 2 cups aquafaba or water from the canned chickpeas
  • 1 cup tahini or substitutes
  • 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Storage containers

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients in one place. Drain the canned chickpeas and reserve the aquafaba. Measure out your tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt.
  2. In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, aquafaba, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend on high until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  3. If the hummus is too thick for your liking, gradually add more aquafaba or water, one tablespoon at a time, blending until you reach your desired creaminess.
  4. Taste your hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You might want to add a bit more salt or lemon juice depending on your preference.
  5. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. You can enjoy it immediately or store it in the fridge for later. If serving right away, feel free to drizzle a bit of aquafaba or a sprinkle of paprika on top for presentation.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For longer storage, freeze for up to three months.
  • Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving, and stir well to restore creaminess.
