Hummus is one of those recipes that is great to have in your pocket. It’s healthy and can be used in so many ways
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked Or Canned Chickpeas, Liquid Reserved
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- ½ cups Tahini
- ¼ cups Olive Oil + A Little More To Thin, If Needed
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin, Paprika, Or Sumac, Plus A Sprinkling For Garnish
- 1 pinch Kosher Salt
- 1 pinch Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 2-½ cups Raw Spinach, Packed
- 1 Lemon, Juiced
Preparation
Put the chickpeas in a food processor and pulse 5-10 times. Add the the rest of the ingredients. Purée for one or two minutes, adding some of the chickpea cooking liquid or a bit more olive oil (a tablespoon at a time) until the mixture is to your desired smoothness. Taste and adjust the seasoning (I often find I like to add much more lemon juice).
Serve! Garnish ideas: chopped pine nuts, sliced black olives, sprinkling of either ground cumin or paprika, freshly chopped parsley leaves.
Refrigerate for up to a couple days or freeze for months.
