3 cups cooked chickpeas, peeled (from 1 to 1 1/4 cup dry chickpeas or from quality canned chickpeas. See recipe notes for more instructions on cooking and peeling chickpeas)
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced

THE BEST HUMMUS



The Best Hummus image

This is a classic tahini-forward, bright and lemony hummus, and is similar to what you would find in Israel. We tried this recipe with from-scratch dried chickpeas as well as with canned, and the flavor and texture were only marginally better with the freshly cooked. And we saved 24 hours of prep time! So for a creamy, satisfying 15-minute hummus, we're going with the can.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 15.5-ounce can chickpeas
2/3 cup tahini
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, plus more if desired
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more if desired
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Hot smoked paprika, for sprinkling
Toasted pita bread, pita chips or cut raw vegetables, for serving

Steps:

  • Drain the chickpeas in a medium mesh sieve, reserving the liquid. Reserve about 7 chickpeas for garnish.
  • Process the tahini, garlic and cumin in a food processor. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup of the reserved chickpea liquid (if you don't have exactly 2/3 cup, add water until the total amount is 2/3 cup) and process until light and very creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. The mixture will appear broken at first but will come together after all the liquid is added and has been processed for a minute or two.
  • Add the chickpeas, the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the tahini mixture. Process until the mixture is extremely smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally, about 4 minutes. Thin with more water if you prefer a looser consistency. Taste and season with more salt, lemon juice or cumin as desired.
  • Spoon the hummus into a shallow bowl, making a well in the center, and drizzle liberally with oil. Top with the reserved chickpeas and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with pita bread, pita chips or cut raw vegetables.

HUMMUS PASTA SALAD



Hummus Pasta Salad image

This hummus pasta salad is a hearty side dish, but it could be a nice meatless main dish as well. Add the dressing while the pasta is still warm to allow the pasta to absorb some of the dressing. -Michelle Morrow, Newmarket, New Hampshire

Tips:

  • Use dried chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are more affordable and have a better flavor than canned chickpeas. If you use dried chickpeas, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Cook the chickpeas until they are very soft: The chickpeas should be so soft that they easily fall apart when you press them between your fingers.
  • Use a high-quality tahini: Tahini is the main ingredient in hummus, so it's important to use a good quality tahini. Look for a tahini that is made from 100% sesame seeds and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Season the hummus to taste: Hummus should be flavorful, but not too salty or lemony. Start with a small amount of salt and lemon juice and add more to taste.
  • Serve the hummus with a variety of toppings: Hummus is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as olive oil, paprika, chopped parsley, or diced tomatoes.
