Traditional Hummus
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chickpeas if canned, drained and rinsed, liquid reserved*
- 3 garlic cloves
- ½ cup sesame tahini
- 4-5 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 6 Tablespoons chickpea liquid
- 1 teaspoon plus a pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until the hummus is smooth. Taste for seasoning and texture.
- I like it very smooth and creamy, so I let the food processor run for a few minutes. I also prefer to eat it immediately at room temperature, but if you will be refrigerating it, you can add a little extra chickpea liquid since the hummus will thicken after it has been refrigerated.
