Hummus
This is your basic hummus. To change it up a bit, add a cooked
red pepper, or roasted beets or fresh herbs. This hummus is delicious
on its own, but also makes a great foundation for new flavor variations
like roasted pepper or fresh herb.
Makes about 2 cups
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
½ cup tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
Pinch ground cumin
½ cup water (plus more if needed)
1. Put the garlic clove into the chopping cup and process on Speed 5
for 10 to 15 seconds; scrape bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and
process until fully smooth, about 40 to 60 seconds.
2. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. If a thinner consistency is
desired, add additional water, or olive oil for a richer tasting hummus.
