Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons water (optional, for consistency)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for garnish)
- 2 sprigs dill sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, tahini, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, fresh dill, garlic clove, ground cumin, and salt to a high-powered blender or food processor.
2. Blend the mixture on low, then increase to high speed until smooth. Pause intermittently to scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed.
3. If the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time while blending to reach your desired consistency.
4. Once blended to a smooth, creamy texture, taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed (e.g., more salt, lemon juice, or dill).
5. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest and a few sprigs of fresh dill, if desired.
6. Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers. Alternatively, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
