Tips:

  • To make the smoothest hummus, use dried chickpeas that have been soaked overnight. This will help them cook evenly and become very tender.
  • If you don't have time to soak the chickpeas overnight, you can use canned chickpeas. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • For a creamier hummus, use a food processor or high-powered blender. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can mash the chickpeas by hand, but it will take a little longer.
  • Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt to the food processor or blender along with the chickpeas. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, garlic, or cumin depending on your personal preferences.
  • Serve the hummus immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Hummus can also be frozen for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Hummus is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dip, spread, or sandwich filling. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, hummus is a great addition to any meal.
