Directions
Hummus, a Middle Eastern dish from chickpeas and tahini, is so popular right now. Fancy vegan and vegetarian restaurants offer different kinds of beautifully served and decorated hummus. You can also find it in supermarkets, and in case you want to make yourself, there’re tons of recipes online. But it’s rare when it’s prepared correctly.
I’m going to tell you how to make your own hummus that’s smooth, light, and fluffy. It’s not difficult at all, and you’ll definitely love the result. If you like Middle Eastern cuisine, this hummus can become a regular guest on your table!
For hummus, I don’t recommend using canned chickpeas. It’s much better to use dried chickpeas that you will need to soak and cook. And the chickpeas liquid, aquafaba, can also be used to make wonderful dishes. Vegans use it instead of eggs in baking, to make meringue, marshmallow, ice cream, and more. Besides, you can use it to make the lightest mayo with this recipe. This is how chickpeas give you two new dishes! By the way, you can freeze aquafaba for later.
This recipe is perfect for 8 servings.
Go for it!

Add the chickpeas, white tahini, olive oil, salt, lemon juice, and spices (optionally) to the food processor. Add ice water. The water really should be ice cold (add ice cubes to water in advance or replace some water with ice) for the right texture. Process into a smooth and fluffy paste. |
