Step 1

You’ll need a food processor or a blender to make the hummus.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the chickpeas - reserve 1/4 cup for the hummus.

Step 3

Put the can of chickpeas in the food processor.

Step 4

Add the juice of 1 lemon.

Step 5

Add 2 tbsp of tahini, you can alway start with 1 then add more.

Step 6

Pulse the chickpeas until they are split and start to breakdown.

Step 7

At this stage add the cumin, a pinch of Kosher Salt and EVOO.

Step 8

Now you’ll need the ice water in your measuring cup, I can’t stress how important ice water is for the next step in making this hummus outstanding! Throw the food processor on low-medium and start slowing streaming in the ice water until the chic peas begin smoothing into a traditional hummus texture.

Step 9

Taste your hummus. Does it need more tahini, cumin, salt or lemon? Maybe it needs all 4 things. Add a pinch, a dash a spoonful more. Then blend again.

Step 10

Does it look a little dry? Steam in a bit more olive oil and the reserved chic pea liquid.

Step 11

Taste and transfer to a bowl. I like to drizzle organic extra virgin olive oil on top with a sprinkle of Za'atar seasoning.
