Pioneer Woman’s Classic Hummus

Prep: 15 mins Level: Easy Cook: - Serves: 8

Description

I am positively in love with Hummus, a classic Middle Eastern puree of chickpeas and sesame paste, and for me it’s one of those foods that never tastes as good as it does when you make it yourself.

Ingredients

3 cans (14.5 Oz.) Garbanzo Beans, Rinsed And Drained 1⁄3 cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Tahini
3 cloves Garlic, Chopped, Or More To Taste
1⁄2 whole Lemon, Juiced

1⁄2 teaspoons Ground Cumin, Or More To Taste Salt To Taste
Fresh Basil Or Italian Parsley
3 Tablespoons To 5 Tablespoons Cold Water

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

Preparation

Combine chickpeas with all ingredients, except water and olive oil, in a blender or food processor.

Pulse until mixture becomes somewhat smooth and combined, but do not over mix.

Add water as necessary to facilitate blending. At the end, add olive oil and pulse no more than three times, just to incorporate.

Pour mixture into a bowl and stir to ensure mixture is combined. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to three days in the fridge.
