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)

Categories     Dip

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.

WORLD'S BEST HUMMUS



World's Best Hummus image

Make and share this World's Best Hummus recipe from Food.com.

Provided by King Lu

Categories     Beans

Time 15m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, reserve water
1 clove garlic, sliced
1/2 large lemon, juice of
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
3 tablespoons tahini, sauce found at middle eastern stores (Sesame Seed Sauce)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
good quality pita bread

Steps:

  • In a Blender (NOT a Food Processor).
  • Add chick peas, garlic, lemon juice, salt, cayenne, cumin, and 1/2 quantity of chickpea water, blend.
  • You will probably have to stir manually a couple of times (when the blender is off!).
  • Add Tahini and blend again, when finished the Hummus should be able to just start to slide out of the blender on its own.
  • If too thick add a little more chickpea water.
  • Pour into a shallow bowl, drizzle with Olive Oil, and sprinkle parsley on top.
  • Cut up Pita Bread into bite size pieces, serve with Hummus.
  • Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use dried chickpeas: Soaking and cooking dried chickpeas from scratch results in a more flavorful hummus than using canned chickpeas.
  • Cook chickpeas until very tender: The chickpeas should be so tender that they easily fall apart when pressed between your fingers.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor is the best tool for making smooth and creamy hummus. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender, but the hummus may not be as smooth.
  • Add the tahini and lemon juice slowly: Adding the tahini and lemon juice slowly helps to prevent the hummus from becoming too thick or oily.
  • Season the hummus to taste: Add salt, cumin, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or sumac.
  • Chill the hummus before serving: Chilling the hummus for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and versatility, hummus is a delicious and healthy dip, spread, or snack. Whether you are hosting a party or simply looking for a healthy snack, this classic Middle Eastern dish is sure to please everyone.
