Unlock the Secret to Creamy Hummus

A Family Recipe Worth Trading For

Imagine a recipe so coveted, it’s been passed down through generations, only to be exchanged for a favor at work. That’s the story behind this incredible hummus recipe, and we’re lucky to have it.

The Magic Begins with Quality Ingredients

Gather these six essential ingredients:

• 1 can of chickpeas
• 1/3 cup of tahini
• 1/2 cup of lemon juice
• 2 tsp of crushed garlic
• 1/2 tsp of sea salt
• 4 tbsp of olive oil

The Secret to Silky Smooth Hummus

To achieve the perfect consistency, follow these steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Chickpeas

Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid, and set them aside without rinsing.

Step 2: Blend the Tahini and Lemon Juice

In a food processor (not a blender!), combine the tahini and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and frothy, ensuring the tahini is fully incorporated.

Step 3: Add Flavor and Texture

Add the crushed garlic and sea salt, blending until well combined. Then, introduce the chickpeas in small handfuls, blending until smooth. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the processor and push the chickpeas to the bottom frequently.

Step 4: Finish with Olive Oil and Chickpea Juice

Once all the chickpeas are blended, add the olive oil and process for a few minutes. Finally, add the reserved chickpea juice until you reach the desired consistency.

The Final Touch: Refrigeration and Patience

Let the hummus marinate in the fridge to allow the garlic flavor to mature. With just 10 minutes of prep time, you’ll be enjoying this creamy, dreamy hummus in no time!
