Servings 4
Prep Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 540g Jar of chickpeas
  • 2/3 Cup Quality tahini
  • 1 Clove Garlic
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 Whole Lemon
  • 1 Cubes Ice
  • 4 tbsp Quality olive oil
  • 1.5 tbsp Za’atar

Instructions

  • Drain chickpeas (reserve aquafaba) and rinse. Cover with water in a bowl, rub chickpeas between fingers to loosen skins. Skim off skins, repeat for smoother hummus.
  • In a food processor, blend tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and salt until smooth, scraping sides as needed.
  • Add chickpeas and ice cubes to the processor. Blend on high, scraping down sides occasionally. Add ice-cold water, 1 tbsp at a time, for desired consistency.
  • Spread hummus in a shallow bowl, create a well in the centre. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with za’atar and serve with pita or flatbread.

Notes

  • Aquafaba (chickpea liquid) can be used for vegan recipes like mayo.
  • For extra-smooth hummus, repeat the skin removal process.
  • Adjust garlic and lemon to your taste preferences.
