Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Set aside.
- Peel and mince 1/2 garlic clove.
- In a food processor or blender, add the sesame butter (60g), lemon juice (60g), and olive oil (27g).
- Blend these ingredients until smooth and well combined.
- Add the minced garlic, ground cumin (1.50g), and a dash of salt (0.40g) to the processor.
- Add the drained chickpeas (430g) to the mixture.
- Process the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- If the hummus is too thick, gradually add a small amount of water (one tablespoon at a time) until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, lemon juice, or cumin according to your preference.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl.
- Drizzle a little olive oil on top for added richness.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of cumin, chopped parsley, or a few whole chickpeas if desired.
- Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips:
- Use high-quality sesame butter (tahini) for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
- Adjust the amount of garlic according to your taste preference; if you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, use a whole clove.
- For an extra smooth hummus, remove the skins from the chickpeas before blending.
- Save some of the chickpea liquid (aquafaba) to adjust the consistency of your hummus; it can make the hummus smoother without adding more oil.
- Experiment with additional spices or toppings like paprika, parsley, or roasted red peppers for added flavor and presentation.
- Store the hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
