Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas drained, or 1½ cups cooked chickpeas
- 4 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 head roasted garlic
- ¼ cup tahini
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 to 3 ice cubes
Instructions
- Place the drained chickpeas in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes.
- Drain the chickpeas and place them in a food processor along with the lemon juice, tahini, and salt. If you want even smoother hummus, you can remove the skins from the chickpeas. They will slip off easily after you simmer the chickpeas.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic from the garlic head, using a paring knife to assist in removing the garlic from the skins. Add the roasted garlic to the food processor.
- Blend the ingredients until the hummus is smooth. 2 to 3 ice cubes can be added to the food processor for fluffier hummus.
Notes
The cook time includes time for roasting the garlic.
