What Is Hummus?

Hummus is a popular Middle Eastern dip traditionally made with cooked chickpeas, Tahini, lemon juice, garlic and other simple ingredients.

It can be served as a dip, spread or side dish and works well with many everyday meals.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For a simple homemade hummus, you’ll need:

• 1 can or about 2 cups cooked chickpeas
• 3 to 4 tablespoons Nutranest Pure Sesame Tahini
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 small garlic clove
• 2 to 4 tablespoons cold water
• Salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Optional: cumin or paprika for serving
  

  How to Make Hummus

  Step 1: Prepare the Chickpeas

  If you are using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them well.

  If you are using dried chickpeas, cook them until they become soft and tender.

  For a smoother hummus, you can remove the chickpea skins, although this step is optional.

  Step 2: Blend the Tahini and Lemon

  Add Tahini and fresh lemon juice to a food processor.

  Blend for a short time until the mixture becomes creamy.

  Step 3: Add Garlic

  Add the garlic clove and blend again.

  You can adjust the amount of garlic according to your preferred taste.
  

  Step 4: Add the Chickpeas

  Add the cooked chickpeas and blend until the mixture starts becoming smooth.

  Scrape the sides of the food processor if needed.

  Step 5: Add Water

  Slowly add cold water while blending.

  Continue until the hummus reaches your preferred creamy consistency.

  You can add more or less water depending on how thick you want it.

  Step 6: Season

  Add salt to taste.

  You can also add a small amount of cumin for extra flavor.

  Blend everything together until smooth and creamy.
  

  How to Serve Hummus

  Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and create a small swirl on top with the back of a spoon.

  Add a drizzle of olive oil and your favorite garnish.

  You can serve hummus with:

  • Warm pita bread
  • Fresh vegetables
  • Crackers
  • Falafel
  • Wraps
  • Sandwiches
  • Roasted vegetables

  Tips for Creamy Hummus

  Use Good Quality Tahini

  Blend Well

  Give your hummus enough blending time. A longer blend can help create a smoother texture.

  Add Water Slowly

  Adding water gradually gives you better control over the final consistency.

  Adjust the Flavor

  Taste your hummus before serving and adjust the lemon juice, salt, garlic or Tahini according to your preference.
