Hummus Recipe

How to Make the Most Delicious Hummus

Prepare the Ingredients

To make the perfect hummus, you'll need:

• 2 cups dried chickpeas
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup tahini
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cook the Chickpeas

First, you'll need to cook the chickpeas. Rinse the chickpeas and add them to a large pot with the baking soda. Cover the chickpeas with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours, or until the chickpeas are tender.

Once the chickpeas are cooked, drain them and rinse them again. Set them aside to cool.

Make the Hummus

Now it's time to make the hummus. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Process until the hummus is smooth and creamy.

If the hummus is too thick, you can add a little water until it reaches the desired consistency. You can also add more lemon juice, cumin, salt, or pepper to taste.

Serve the Hummus

The hummus is now ready to serve. You can serve it with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers. You can also use the hummus as a dip or spread. Enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Hummus

• Use the best quality ingredients you can find. This will make a big difference in the taste of the hummus.
• Don't overcook the chickpeas. If the chickpeas are overcooked, the hummus will be grainy.
• Don't be afraid to experiment with the flavors. You can add different spices or herbs to the hummus to create a unique flavor.
• Hummus can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
