Some hummus recipes suggest that you soak dry chickpeas, or that you cook the chickpeas until they almost fall apart before you process them – both tips are great for making ‘ultimate hummus’, but you can achieve really smooth and tasty hummus in a fraction of the time. This recipe is hummus in its simplest form. It is the order of adding and blending the ingredients that is crucial for a smooth result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makes approximately half a kilo of hummus, a good amount for a dip at a small party – scale as required. After you go through the basic recipe, you can start playing with alterations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Add 2 heaped tablespoons <\/em>of tahini<\/strong>, half a clove <\/em>of <\/em>garlic<\/strong>, and up to half a lemon’s<\/em><\/strong> lemon juice <\/strong>(according to preference) to a food processor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Blend until you get a thick paste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Drain the water (aquafaba – which can be set aside for use in other recipes) from a 400g can of<\/em> chickpeas<\/strong>. Don’t worry about being thorough when draining, a little aquafaba in the hummus only adds flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Add the chickpeas to the food processor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Blend well until all the ingredients form – well, basically, hummus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. At this point add 4 tablespoons \/ 60ml of <\/em>cold water<\/strong>, or a couple of ice cubes (but only if your blender is definitely up to the job!) and blend well again. This will make the hummus even smoother. You can vary the water \/ ice cube quantity to achieve your preferred consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Now add flavourings. For a standard hummus, add a splash of<\/em> olive oil<\/strong>, a couple of pinches of<\/em> salt<\/strong>, and a pinch of <\/em>pul biber (also known as Aleppo Chilli) <\/strong>(or paprika if you don’t have pul biber). You could also add cumin, cumin seeds, za’atar, black pepper… whatever you want! <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Blend a final time, and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Ingredients List:
    – 2 heaped tablespoons <\/em>of tahini<\/strong>
    – half a clove <\/em>of <\/em>garlic<\/strong>
    – half a lemon’s<\/em><\/strong> lemon juice<\/strong>
    – 400g can of<\/em> chickpeas<\/strong>
    – 4 tablespoons \/ 60ml of <\/em>cold water<\/strong> (or 2 ice cubes)
    – a splash of<\/em> olive oil<\/strong>
    – a couple of pinches of<\/em> salt<\/strong>
    – pinch of <\/em>pul biber (also known as Aleppo Chilli) <\/strong>(or paprika)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
