Description

This Quick and Easy Creamy Hummus recipe can be made in just 5 minutes! It's my go-to homemade hummus and it's full of classic, zesty, and filling flavor. Make a batch (or two!) today!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce can) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed well (or 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas)*
  • 1/4 cup runny raw tahini (oils well incorporated throughout)
  • 1 large juicy lemon, juiced (~2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice)
  • 1/4 cup crushed ice (trust me!)
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • 3/4 teaspoons fine salt
  • Garnish ideas: sweet paprika, Italian flat leaf parsley (large stems removed and leaves finely chopped), and/or extra virgin olive oil, microgreens

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a 7-cup food processor.  Process for one minute.  Scrape down the sides with a mini spatula and process again until smooth and creamy and no ice chunks remain.
  2. Taste and adjust flavors as needed (you may want to add more lemon, salt, tahini or garlic).  
  3. Transfer the hummus using the spatula to a serving dish and garnish with a dusting of chopped Italian flat leaf parsley, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of sweet paprika if desired.  
  4. Store leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to one week.
