Equipment
Ingredients
- 400 g Chickpeas canned or boiled in advance
- 3 tbsp Tahini light sesame
- 1 Lemon Juice fresh
- 3 cloves Garlic choped
- Pink salt to taste
- ½ tsp Cumin powder powder
- 5 cubes Ice for fluffiness
Instructions
- Prepare the Chickpeas: If you're using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them thoroughly. If you prefer to cook chickpeas, boil them in an Instant Pot for 30 minutes for a soft texture that will blend smoothly.
- Blend the Tahini and Lemon Juice First: This is the key to achieving that ultra-creamy hummus texture. In your food processor, combine the tahini and lemon juice. Blend for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
- Add chickpeas, garlic cloves, cumin, and a few ice cubes. The ice will chill the hummus and help emulsify the ingredients, creating a fluffy texture. Blend until smooth.
- Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while blending. Add salt to taste as you go, ensuring everything is evenly mixed. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Garnish and Serve: Once you've reached your desired texture, transfer the hummus to a serving dish. Drizzle more olive oil on top, garnish with fresh parsley, and sprinkle a few whole chickpeas. Enjoy!
