About the Recipe

Hummus is a smooth and creamy puree of cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans), tahini and an acid, typically lemon juice. While hummus usually has garlic now, centuries ago it did not. Olive oil isn't a requirement either, but most modern recipes list it as an ingredient.

8 oz Chickpeas cooked and drain

4 fl oz Tahini Sauce

2 fl oz Lemon juice

4 fl oz Extra virgin olive oil

2 fl oz Water

1.4 oz Garlic cloves minced

To taste Salt

Paprika ( optional, as needed for garnish)

Place chickpeas, tahini sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, water and salt into food processor and blend until smooth. The consistency can be adjusted with more water or lemon juice, as desired.

Step 2

Season to taste.
