Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained, or 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (if you're using canned chickpeas)
¼ cup lemon juice (from 1 ½ to 2 lemons), more to taste
1 medium-to-large clove garlic, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, to taste
1/2 cup tahini
2 to 4 tablespoons ice water, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Any of the following garnishes: drizzle of olive oil or zhoug sauce, sprinkle of ground sumac or paprika, chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place the chickpeas in a medium saucepan and add the baking soda. Cover the chickpeas by several inches of water, then bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Continue boiling, reducing heat if necessary to prevent overflow, for about 20 minutes, or until the chickpeas look bloated, their skins are falling off, and they're quite soft. In a fine-mesh strainer, drain the chickpeas and run cool water over them for about 30 seconds. Set aside (no need to peel the chickpeas for this recipe!).
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the lemon juice, garlic and salt. Process until the garlic is very finely chopped, then let the mixture rest so the garlic flavor can mellow, ideally 10 minutes or longer.
  • Add the tahini to the food processor and blend until the mixture is thick and creamy, stopping to scrape down any tahini stuck to the sides and bottom of the processor as necessary.
  • While running the food processor, drizzle in 2 tablespoons ice water. Scrape down the food processor, and blend until the mixture is ultra smooth, pale and creamy. (If your tahini was extra-thick to begin with, you might need to add 1 to 2 tablespoons more ice water.)
  • Add the cumin and the drained, over-cooked chickpeas to the food processor. While blending, drizzle in the olive oil. Blend until the mixture is super smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor as necessary, about 2 minutes. Add more ice water by the tablespoon if necessary to achieve a super creamy texture.
  • Taste, and adjust as necessary-I almost always add another 1/4 teaspoon salt for more overall flavor and another tablespoon of lemon juice for extra zing.
  • Scrape the hummus into a serving bowl or platter, and use a spoon to create nice swooshes on top. Top with garnishes of your choice, and serve. Leftover hummus keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 week.

WHEW! Hey, gotta cover all bases! There are so many versions of this recipe here and elsewhere, but none just like this one, which I found in "The Best International Recipe" cookbook by Cook's Illustrated. Outstanding balance of flavors. C.I. points out the benefit of rubbing the skins off of the chickpeas/garbanzo beans with a kitchen towel: a far smoother hummus! I'm seriously stunned by how much better this makes it. Also, substituting half of the olive oil in the average recipe with water allows the flavors of all other ingredients to shine and not be overpowered by the olive oil. I used sumac, paprika, cilantro, olive oil and cumin as garnishes in the photographed batch, but you can use more chili powder, parsley, pine nuts or black olives. Serve with pita chips.

Time 5m

Yield 1 1/2 cups (approximately)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic paste
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch kashmiri chili powder (the former is a bit milder) or 1 pinch cayenne (the former is a bit milder)
1/2 teaspoon sumac (to garnish)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (to garnish)

Steps:

  • After draining the chickpeas well, put them all in a clean, large, cotton (non-terry) kitchen towel. Very gently rub the chickpeas to loosen their skins. Open the towel and discard all skins.
  • Process all ingredients except for the garnishes in a food processor or blender until smooth, about 40 seconds. You may need to stop and occasionally scrape down the sides of the vessel.
  • Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • To serve, remove from fridge, garnish with your selections, and serve with toasted pita chips.

Tips:

  • Use dried chickpeas for the most authentic flavor and texture. Soaking them overnight before cooking will help them cook more evenly.
  • If you're short on time, you can use canned chickpeas. Just be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
  • Tahini is a key ingredient in hummus. It gives it its creamy texture and nutty flavor. If you can't find tahini, you can substitute another nut or seed butter, such as almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
  • Use fresh garlic and lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled or jarred garlic and lemon juice will not give you the same results.
  • Season the hummus to taste with salt, pepper, and cumin. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or coriander.
  • Serve hummus with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers. It's also a great addition to sandwiches and wraps.

Conclusion:

Hummus is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or main course. It's a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a hummus recipe that everyone will love.
