Homemade Hummus Recipe
Equipment
- Blender or Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 Tin Chickpeas
- 1 Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Tahini a thick paste made from sesame seeds
- 2 tsp Garlic
- ¼ tsp Paprika
- ¼ tsp Za'atar this is a middle eastern blend of spices – it has a fresh and nutty flavour!
- ¼ tsp Sumac a spice made of dried sumac berries, it has a tangy and sour taste
- 40 ml Olive oil extra virgin if you have some
Instructions
- Empty the tin of chickpeas in cold water and gently remove the outer skin of the chickpeas. This will give your hummus a nice smooth texture
- Using a blender or food processor blitz the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil garlic, paprika and za'atar together until completely smooth. This will take anything between 2 to 4 minutes.
- Once fully blended, pop your hummus in a bowl and add extra spices to taste. Once done, drizzle with olive oil, and you're ready to serve!
Notes
Top Tip:
Save the water from the tinned chickpeas. This is called aquafaba and it's a fantastic replacement for egg whites. It makes lovely vegan chocolate mousse and meringues!
