Cooking Instructions
- 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.

Add the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin and the salt to whipped tahini and lemon juice. 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.

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.

Hummus Hummus
This is a modification of J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's Serious Eats recipe for hummus for our taste. It requires the use of a powerful blender to achieve the creamy texture of beans.The main modification is with the tahini recipe. We wanted more garlic and acidity in less tahini paste, and want a slightly larger kick of cumin.

Hummus Hummus
This recipe was modified from a restaurant trick to get ultra smooth hummus by processing the tahini first with sodium citrate and ice water. The sodium citrate helps retain the emulsion between the tahini oil and lemon juice. Instead of using soaked and cooked chickpeas, ive modified the recipe to use 1 large can of precooked chickpeas for convenience, but they require further cooking to soften. I add a healthy dose of lemon because i like the tartness and I think rosemary really compliments the earthy flavors of the chickpeas, but this could be left out or substituted for other herbs and flavors.

Hummus Hummus
A classic recipe for hummus. Tastes better than anything store bought or restaurant made.Making great hummus involves a lot of blending in the food processor. In the following steps, you’ll see we take a few ingredients at a time and blend them very well before moving on to the next. The order of ingredients is also important for the best result.A lot of places use more cumin than this recipe, which is not something I prefer as a main flavor— feel free to add more or less for your tastes.Also, it has a great shelf life in the refrigerator, so I make a lot at a time. If you want to make less, just halve the ingredients.
