Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pour the lemon juice and tahini into your food processor and process on high until a thick paste forms. Scrape down the bowl of your processor with a spatula and process again for a few more seconds.
  • Add in the chickpeas, minced garlic, salt and cumin and process for a minute or until everything is thick and combined. Again, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • While the food processor is running, slowly stream in the olive oil (or water) until a smooth, creamy hummus forms. Make sure to add the olive oil slowly so you don't add to much and end up with an over-runny hummus.
  • Taste and add more salt if needed. Serve immediately with an extra drizzle of olive oil and a dash of cumin or store in an airtight container in the fridge for a week.

Notes

If you have leftovers of this hummus, then simply place it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to a week. The lemon keeps it nice and fresh!
