Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 1.5 tablespoons Truffle oil
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 piece Garlic clove (small, minced)

Instructions
Add the cooked or canned chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides halfway through, until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the water, followed by the extra virgin olive oil, to achieve a smooth consistency.
Add the truffle oil and blend again until the hummus is well-integrated and infused with truffle aroma.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to preference.
Serve the truffle hummus in a shallow dish and, if desired, garnish with a light drizzle of truffle oil, black truffle slices, or a sprinkle of truffle zest for an extra touch of luxury.
Enjoy with warm pita bread, fresh veggies, or as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.
