Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients: chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, garlic, cumin, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, minced garlic, cumin, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Blend Until Smooth: Process the ingredients until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor occasionally to ensure everything is well combined.
-
Adjust Consistency: While blending, gradually add the juice from the chickpea can until you reach your desired consistency. Some prefer their hummus thicker, while others like it smoother and more spreadable.
-
Taste and Adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or garlic according to your taste preferences.
-
Serve or Store: Transfer the garlic hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of cumin or paprika for garnish if desired. Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh veggies, or use as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
-
Storage: Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Hummus can also be frozen for longer storage.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, you can peel the chickpeas before blending, although this step is optional.
- Experiment with additional flavors such as lemon juice, roasted red peppers, or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to customize your hummus.
- This recipe can easily be halved or doubled depending on your needs.
