Hummus

Ingredients

  • One 15-ounce can (425 grams) chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans
  • 1/4 cup (59 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (59 ml) well-stirred tahini
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • 3 tablespoons chipotle olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt, depending on taste
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons water
  • Dash of ground paprika for serving

    • Directions

    1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine tahini and lemon juice. Process for 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl then turn on and process for 30 seconds. This extra time helps “whip” or “cream” the tahini, making smooth and creamy hummus possible.
    2. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, chipotle powder and the salt to the whipped tahini and lemon juice mixture. Process for 30 seconds, scrape sides and bottom of bowl then process another 30 seconds.
    3. Open can of chickpeas, drain liquid then rinse well with water. Add half of the chickpeas to the food processor then process for 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl, add remaining chickpeas and process for 1 to 2 minutes or until thick and quite smooth.
    4. Most likely the hummus will be too thick or still have tiny bits of chickpea. To fix this, with the food processor turned on, slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water until the consistency is perfect.
