Smooth, creamy, homemade Hummus. You'll never want store-bought after trying this!
Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 15 oz. garbanzo beans (1 can) optionally peeled
- Juice of 1 lemon + 1 tablespoon
- 2 tablespoons tahini paste
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ice cubes optional
- paprika for garnish
- olive oil for garnish
- parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the garbanzo beans. To make hummus smoother you may, optionally, peel the garbanzo beans. To peel pinch a bean between your finger and they will slide right out of their skin.
- Once garbanzo beans are prepped place in food processor.
- Blend for a few minutes until garbanzo beans are fine and crumbly. Scrape down the sides every once in awhile to make sure everything is blended.
- Once garbanzo beans are fine while the food processor is running add in the lemon juice, tahini, garlic cloves, and salt.
- Allow to blend for 4-5 minutes until smooth. Taste to see if salt and lemon juice is to your liking. Adjust as needed.
- While it is blending add in the olive oil and red pepper flakes. Optionally, you can add in ice cubes at this point. Blend for 2-3 minutes until fluffy and smooth.
- Once done, plate it up with a garnish of paprika, olive oil, and parsley.
- Enjoy!
