Blend Ingredients:
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Puree until smooth.
Add Water:
With the food processor running, slowly pour in 2 tablespoons of ice water. Continue processing for about 5 minutes until the mixture is very smooth and slightly warm to the touch.
Incorporate Olive Oil:
Add the olive oil and blend until well combined. Taste and adjust with more lemon, salt, or cumin as desired. If the hummus is too thick, add more ice water gradually.
Serve:
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, create a swirl in the center, and garnish with olive oil and your choice of spices.
Storage:
Hummus can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 week. For best flavor, let it sit for a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with fresh vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
Use as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
Cooking Tips:
Stir the tahini well before measuring to ensure proper consistency.
Blend longer for a fluffier texture; the hummus should feel warm after processing.
