chickpea dip

RECIPE VIDEO ABOVE. EVERYONE should know how to make a great hummus! I usually make this with canned chickpeas but see notes for using dried (stove or pressure cooker). Quick to make, and completely incomparable to store bought. With a decent food processor, the hummus is certainly smooth enough for my taste. But if you want ultra smooth, see the recipe notes!

Hummus

/ 14 oz canned chickpeas

liquid from the canned chickpeas

garlic (, minced)

lemon juice

extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper

chickpeas

Extra smooth optional steps: If you want ultra smooth hummus, do one of the extra Smooth Hummus steps below (I rare bother!).

Reserve for garnish: Reserve 10 or so chickpeas for garnish. 

Blitz! Place remaining chickpeas, garlic, lemon, tahini and olive oil in a food processor or blender. Blitz until it becomes a paste. 

Season - Add salt and pepper - if using canned chickpeas, add salt gradually because the saltiness varies from brand to brand.

Thin sauce - Add reserved liquid from can. Blitz for a couple of minutes until smooth - but note you will have tiny little grains in it, it won&#039;t be 100% smooth unless you do one of the extra steps below. 

Adjust - Adjust lemon and salt to taste, adjust thickness with more liquid. It should be a soft dropping consistency, like ketchup.

Serve the traditional way: dollop a big scoop of hummus on a plate or shallow bowl. Use a spoon to spread it and make swirls on the surface. Top with reserved chickpeas, drizzle generously with more olive oil and sprinkle with paprika.

Method 1: Drain chickpease, place in large bowl and fill with water. Grab handfuls and rub between your hands submerged in the water - skins will rub off and float to surface. Skim floating skin off, drain and use per recipe.

Method 2: Tip all contents of can INCLUDING liquid into heatproof bowl. Cover loosely with lid or clingwrap, microwave on high for 3 minutes. Drain then use per recipe (hot chickpeas blitz smoother).

My family&#039;s easy authentic hummus recipe comes together in just 10 minutes! We always used canned chickpeas for convenience and just a few simple ingredients to make this wonderful creamy vegan dip.

Easy Authentic Hummus Recipe

Chick peas (1.5 cups) (see notes)

Fresh Lemon's Juice

Salt

Reserved Chickpea Liquid,

tbsp Tahini Paste

Olive oil

tsp Cumin

Ice cube (recommended)

Garlic (optional)

Parsley

Sumac

Jalapeno, roughly chopped

lemon's juice

tbsp Olive oil

Garlic cloves

To start, drain the liquid from the can of chickpeas and keep it to the side. We will be using some of it shortly.

Add the drained can of chickpeas to a high speed blender or food processor. Puree for a few seconds until more fine. Feel free to add garlic at this step if you choose too.

To this, add the rest of the ingredients. Add the salt, cumin, tahini paste, olive oil, lemon juice, and reserved liquid. Blend for about 30 seconds until the hummus is smooth and creamy. Make sure to use a spatula to bring down the ingredients that get stuck to hte side of the blender.

To make it more smooth, you can go ahead and blend in an ice cube as well. Puree together for roughky 20 more seconds.

Plate in a dish with a slight rimmed edge good for dipping. Garnish with chopped parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, and sumac on the edges. Lastly, add ta spoon or two of jalapeno sauce to the center or serve on the side.

To make the jalapeno garlic sauce, you would add the ingrdients to a mini food processor and let it puree for a few seconds until fine and sauce-like.

Enjot with fresh pita bread, pita chips, or veggies to dip.

I’ve made this recipe multiple times, and it is now my go to hummus recipe! Easy and delicious!

This is as delicious as it is easy to make. I can’t believe I ever bought my hummus at the store!

Perfect! I always make it this way, except I use fresh water. I've heard that the water in the can makes a person gassy!  And I always use garlic.   BTW, I never saw sumac available anywhere.

Great recipe. Measurements are great, smooth and creamy just the way I like it.

Delicious, spicy chickpea dip with basic Indian spices - ready in fifteen minutes, perfect with flatbread or chips!

Spicy Chickpea Dip

chickpeas (low-sodium preferred)

aquafaba (reserve all aquafaba,

garlic

jalapeno (check recipe notes for spice adjustment)

turmeric

chili

cumin powder (ground*)

olive oil (divided)

cilantro (chopped finely, optional)

salt

Drain the chickpeas, saving 1 tablespoon of the brining liquid (aquafaba). If you&#39;re using dry chickpeas, just add a tablespoon of water instead.

Add the drained chickpeas, 2-3 garlic cloves, 1 chopped jalapeno, along with a teaspoon each of turmeric, red chili powder and cumin powder to a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are processed to a creamy mixture. Add about a tablespoon of olive oil to this and continue pulsing.

Transfer to a bowl and garnish with a tablespoon of olive oil, some fresh lemon juice and top with cilantro for a super easy chickpea dip your family will love!

A great start - very easy to put together, and flexible. The result for us was a bit dry compared to the homous dips we are used to, so we doubled the olive oil, and it was pretty close. Not really spicy either - will try dialing that up a notch next time!

I made this for dinner tonight with rice and omg it was so delicious!! Just with enough spice to give that extra umami-ness.  I'll be honest and say that I tried to make this recipe before but I was lazy and used canned tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes...This was a terrible mistake and fresh tomatoes made a world of difference.   LOVE IT!

This hummus recipe gives you incredibly smooth, creamy, restaurant-style hummus with simple ingredients and a few easy techniques that make all the difference.

Drain and rinse, then cover with fresh water by about 4 inches (10 cm) and add the baking soda. Boil for about 2 hours, until almost falling apart. Cool, then refrigerate in their cooking water.

Blend the hummus

Blend for 3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.Add ⅓ cup tahini, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, and half the cold water. Blend for 2 minutes.Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and blend for 2 more minutes, adding more cold water as needed until smooth, creamy, and easy to spread. Taste and adjust salt and lemon juice.

Garnish and serve

Garnish and serve: Spread the hummus on a plate or shallow bowl and make a swirl with the back of a spoon.Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and top with the reserved chickpeas and flat-leaf parsley. Serve with warm pita, falafel, or fresh vegetables.

I have been making hummus for years, but it was not until I made yours that I found out I had not been processing mine long enough to make it  as smooth as what is purchased. I use so many of your recipes and love each one I’ve made. Thank you so much for sharing!

I made this with canned chickpeas and it was so creamy and delicious!  I did add more lemon juice.  Best hummus ever!

Just the Best hummus I have ever made!
Well done Nico and Louise.
😘

Thank you for sharing such a great &amp; simple recipe.

I loved recipes. Tastes great
 Easy to make for family

Nico &amp; Louise, I made this hummus Friday and it was delicious. It was for a party of six and everybody absolutely loved it. To go with your hummus, I made your tabbouleh salad and falafels. I also made your tzazeki sauce to go with the falafels and had toasted pita bread cut into triangles with everything. Needless to say, this was an all day project for me and the kitchen looked like a danger zone afterwards; but it was worth it. A big two thumbs up for all the recipes.

Really Really Yum! I made my Hummus in the NutriBullet ~ So easy !
I added 1c of Roasted Red Peppers &amp; Ice Cubes instead of water .
Used all high quality ingredients as I found this makes a huge difference in taste .

I made this recipe today to take to a pot luck celebration of life.  At first, my new Cuisinart would not work.  Tried everything!  Had to transfer to my Larger Vitamix bowl and wasn’t able to get it creamy enough.  I wasn’t able to get to your site so I had to watch the video.  Couldn’t get the sound to work.  I kept adding water and was afraid it would be too much.  The taste was delicious but the consistency was too thick.  When I got home tonight, I was able to hear your video and get on your website.  All in all, it took me almost an hour to make it!  However, I will try to make it again after my machine is replaced, (perhaps cutting the recipe in half).  I had way too much.  There was a lot of food there.  Thanks for the great information!

I was invited to a party tonight and I made this, it was an instant hit. So far this is my favourite hummus recipe. I'm such a big fan, keep up the good work!

Just found you!!!
Wonderful HUMMUS!

These recipes look absolutely fantastic🥰(I’m Italian/Norwegian/Swiss😋)
Please continue to tell us also WHY we have to cook this or that way…… that helps a lot!
Love you ❤️🍒🥕🥒🍋

I will never buy hummus again. So creamy and delicious. Thank you!

Excellent recipe, it amazing good. The best recipe in the world. Thank you formsharing
