The BEST hummus! Creamy hummus that's ready in just 6 minutes. Homemade hummus tastes so much better than store hummus!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 15 ounce can chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons reserved chickpea liquid, or water, or olive oil
- 5 dashes hot sauce*
- 3 ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, for garnish
- Paprika, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the garlic, chickpeas, salt, tahini, lemon juice, reserved chickpea liquid, and hot sauce in a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Process until very smooth, about 3 minutes. Taste, adding more salt, as desired.
- Add in the ice cubes and process until incorporated.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil and paprika on top.
Notes
*The hot sauce doesn't make the hummus hot; it just adds a nice, salty flavor to the hummus. I use Tabasco and that's the only type of hot sauce I would recommend for this. But, you can also omit.
**The amount of salt will depend on the saltiness of your beans. I start with 1/2 teaspoon and then add from there.
