About this recipe
Classic chickpea hummus is a creamy spread with tahini, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice, served with bread or vegetables. Chickpeas make a satisfying base, tahini adds depth of sesame flavor and lemon brings a fresh, gently tangy contrast. Add garlic cautiously, as it can quickly dominate such a simple hummus. Adjust the consistency with the measured, reserved chickpea liquid. This basic homemade hummus works as a dip, a bread spread or an accompaniment to snacks.
Ingredients
1 can chickpeas
2 tablespoons tahini
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
To serve
raw vegetables cut into sticks or bread
Steps
Drain the chickpeas and reserve 2–3 tablespoons of the liquid to adjust the consistency if needed.
Blend the chickpeas with the tahini, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth.
If the hummus is too thick, add the reserved chickpea liquid a tablespoon at a time, using no more than 3 tablespoons in total, and blend until creamy.
Serve with bread or raw vegetable sticks.
