This quick and delicious homemade hummus recipe is simple, yet packed with flavor. Using a few key ingredients, you can whip up a batch in no time.

Ingredients:

3.50 cups chickpeas
840g
3 garlic cloves
9g
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1.27g
2 tsp soy sauce
12g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
- Ensure your chickpeas are cooked and drained. If using canned chickpeas, rinse them thoroughly to remove any excess sodium.
- Peel the garlic cloves.
2. Blend the Chickpeas:
- Add the 3.5 cups of chickpeas to a food processor or blender.
3. Add the Flavors:
- Toss in the 3 peeled garlic cloves.
- Pour in the 1/4 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. This small amount helps balance the flavors.
- Add the 2 teaspoons of soy sauce for a savory depth.
- Sprinkle in the 2 teaspoons of ground cumin for a warm, earthy aroma.
4. Blend Until Smooth:
- Start blending the mixture on a low setting, gradually increasing the speed.
- You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well-incorporated.
- If the hummus seems too thick, you can add water (a tablespoon at a time) until you achieve your desired consistency.
5. Adjust to Taste:
- Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more lemon juice, soy sauce, or cumin according to your preference.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the smooth hummus to a serving bowl.
- Optionally, drizzle with olive oil and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or chopped fresh parsley for added color.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or use as a spread in sandwiches.

Tips:

- For a creamier texture, peel the chickpeas before blending.

- Adjust the lemon juice and garlic to taste, adding more if you prefer a tangier or more garlicky flavor.

- Add a bit of water or olive oil if the hummus is too thick for your liking.

- Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, sprinkle of paprika, or chopped fresh herbs for extra flavor.

- Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
