Equipment
- 1 Food Processor
- 1 Pot
Ingredients
- 1 Can Chickpeas - 540 ml or 19 fl oz
- 2 Ice Cubes - More if needed to create a smooth consistency
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 C Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, & Tahini - each
- 1 tsp Salt, Cumin, & Coriander - each
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Instructions
- Place the canned chickpeas in a bowl with water to cover. Rub the Chickpeas between your hands to remove the skins, which will float and can be scooped off and discarded.
- Purée the Chickpeas, stopping every once in a while to scrape down the sides. Once the Chickpeas are like a powder or pulse, add the remaining ingredients and continue to purée for 4–5 minutes until the hummus is really smooth, airy & light.Stop every once in a while to scrape the sides down to ensure everything gets puréed smooth. Add more Ice cubes if needed to adjust the consistency.
- Adjust seasoning if needed. Scoop out into a serving bowl, garnish how you like, and drizzle more Olive Oil on top. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Notes
Optionally bring the canned Chickpeas to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the Chickpeas are easily mushed. Strain the Chickpeas and remove any bits of skins before emptying into a food processor. This creates softer chickpeas which will purée a bit smoother, but can be skipped.
Removing the skins is optional, but does make for a smoother Hummus. So is boiling canned Chickpeas to soften them more.
