This hummus recipe was perfected after a weekend of experimentation. Everyone that has tried it has loved it! Several people have said it’s the best they’ve tasted. It tastes best if the beans and lemon juice sit first, but if you’re in a hurry everything can be blended together without waiting. To serve, create wells in the hummus and drizzle with olive oil and ground paprika. If desired, garnish with diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and Greek olives for a festive salad/dip with pita bread.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ (15.5 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained with liquid (aquafaba) reserved
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup well-stirred tahini (Middle Eastern sesame paste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne
- 1/8 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place garbanzo beans, 1 1/2 tablespoon reserved aquafaba, and lemon juice in a food processor. Let soak until flavors combine, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Pulse soaked garbanzo beans until roughly chopped. Add tahini, olive oil, garlic, cayenne, sugar, salt, and black pepper; blend, thinning with reserved aquafaba, until hummus is smooth and reaches desired consistency.
Cook’s Notes:
Though most popular as an appetizer to be eaten with pita, hummus also works great on sandwiches and wraps, particularly on lavash (soft, cracker-like bread) bread, available at Middle Eastern grocery stores.
