Homemade hummus from chickpeas, tahini and lemon comes together in fifteen minutes with no cooking. Just blend everything until smooth, ice-cold water makes the dip light and fluffy. It tastes best with warm pita and a spoonful of olive oil on top. Adjust the acidity and salt to your liking.

Step by step process

Preparation

1
For homemade hummus, drain the chickpeas from the can and rinse them in a sieve under running water.
2
Peel and press the garlic cloves and squeeze the juice from the lemon. For a smoother result, gently rub off and discard the chickpea skins.

Blending

3
Put the chickpeas, tahini, pressed garlic and lemon juice into a blender and blend into a thick mass.
4
While blending, add ice-cold water and olive oil a spoonful at a time until the mixture turns creamy and fluffy.
TIP:
While blending, add ice-cold water in small increments. Cold water will help emulsify and preserve a fresh flavor, yielding a smooth, silky paste.
5
Stir in the ground cumin and salt, blend briefly again and taste.

Serving

6
Spread the finished hummus into a bowl and make a swirl with the back of a spoon. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with ground sweet paprika and chopped parsley.
