@spoonfulayum ✨Have you tried making hummus before?
For way to long I just bought hummus from the store because I could never get that super smooth consistency, (and let’s be real, it was just easier).
But no longer!! Enter this:
✨super simple + extra smooth homemade hummus✨
The key to the smooth consistency is to start with a can of chickpeas, then add the chickpeas and liquid from the can to a pot and cook until the chickpeas are basically falling apart. Then blend it up and there you go!
It’s so much better than the store, you know exactly what’s in it, and it tastes a million times better too!
•2 (14oz) cans chickpeas
•2 garlic cloves, smashed
•1/4 tsp ground cumin
•juice of one small lemon
•1/2 cup tahini
•2 tbsp olive oil + more for serving
•salt + pepper
•2 tsp za’atar
•toasted pine nuts, optional
1. In a medium pot, add the chickpeas, liquid from the cans, garlic, 1/2 cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook on medium high heat for about 20-30 minutes until the chickpeas are falling apart.
2. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and drain the rest. Transfer the chickpeas and garlic to a food processor and pulse until mostly smooth, 2-3 minutes. Add the cumin, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, and a pinch of black pepper, and pulse to combine. While pureeing, slowly add the reserved cooking liquid, a spoonful at a time, until your desired consistency. Taste for salt, and add a pinch more if you need.
3. Serve the hummus with a drizzle of olive oil, toasted pine nuts, and the za’atar sprinkled on top along with some homemade naan. Enjoy!
