VITAMIX® HUMMUS
This is the result of my quest for perfectly creamy and flavorful hummus. We have many Middle Eastern restaurants in metro Detroit and I've always wanted to perfect the recipe at home. The secret to ultimate creaminess with this recipe is the Vitamix® blender, which really emulsifies the mixture so it's not grainy. Using a food processor in the past, it never came out smooth. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and lightly garnish with a dash of paprika or minced parsley if desired. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts on top when serving for a savory variation. Great with fresh baked pita, pretzels, or sliced vegetables.

Steps:
- Pour 1 can of chickpeas with its liquid into a Vitamix® blender. Drain the second can of chickpeas, reserving liquid. Set liquid aside and add chickpeas to the blender.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 6- to 8-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until just turning golden in color, about 1 minute. Immediately remove from heat and add sauteed garlic with pan oil to the blender.
- Use a citrus press to squeeze juice from the lemon directly into the blender, avoiding getting seeds into mixture. Add remaining oil, tahini, salt, and cumin.
- Blend thoroughly on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Add in desired amount of reserved chickpea liquid slowly and continue blending until desired consistency is reached, 2 to 3 minutes. To serve, scoop hummus into a flat serving bowl and spread evenly around in a circular fashion.

HUMMUS IN THE VITAMIX
This is a great recipe because it uses toasted sesame seeds instead of tahini. A Vitamix is essential to break down the sesame seeds and get a velvety texture. This is adapted from the Vitamix website.

Tips:
- For the smoothest hummus, use dried chickpeas that have been soaked overnight and cooked until tender. Canned chickpeas can be used in a pinch, but they will not produce as smooth a hummus.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but it will not be as bright and flavorful.
- Add ice cubes to the hummus while blending to make it extra smooth and creamy.
- If you don't have tahini, you can use another nut or seed butter, such as almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.
- Hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
