Description
The best ever homemade hummus recipe is creamy, flavorful and quick to make in 3 minutes. you never have to buy it from the store
Ingredients
Scale
- 30 oz canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained with liquid reserved (I use two 15oz cans)
- 1/3 cup chickpea liquid, or more, as needed
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
Garnish
- olive oil
- paprika
- fresh parsley
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to your Vitamix or high-powered blender and secure the lid. Remove the lid cap and insert the tamper.
- Turn the blender on high for 30 seconds (or more for a creamier texture) and use the tamper to push the hummus into the blades. Add more chickpea liquid (aquafaba), if desired, for a softer hummus.
- Add the hummus to a serving plate and garnish with olive oil, paprika and fresh parsley.
Notes
The hummus will last up to a week in the refrigerator when stored in a sealed container. You can also freeze the hummus for later use in closed containers and thaw as needed. In fact, it is one of the most common foods that I prepare regularly because it is very simple.
Remember, you can also do Tahini yourself (instead of shopping at the store). Just follow my Tahini recipe.
The Vitamix mixer I use is the Vitamix Ascent 3500, and I love it!
