- 1 can chickpeas or garbanzo beans drained & rinsed (reserving liquid)
- ½ large lemon juiced
- 1-2 garlic cloves peeled
- 1-2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup reserved liquid from chickpeas
Add the chickpeas to a food processor or blender, along with the rest of the ingredients, aside from the reserved liquid. Blend for 30 seconds.
Pour in the reserved liquid in small increments and pulse until the hummus is smooth in consistency.
Taste and add more salt, if necessary. Serve with your favorite chips or vegetables and enjoy!
- For a smooth hummus, peel the chickpeas. This takes some extra time but removing the skin from the chickpeas will result in the creamiest hummus.
- Start by adding a small amount of garlic and add more if necessary. Raw garlic has a very strong taste.
- Blend the hummus for a little while to ensure it gets nice and smooth. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl and then blend again until it reaches your desired texture.
- The hummus should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
- You can freeze hummus in an airtight, freezer-safe container for a few months. Let it defrost and come to room temperature before serving.
