1 1/2 cups (approximately)
ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1⁄4 cup tahini
- 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch kashmiri chili powder (the former is a bit milder) or 1 pinch cayenne (the former is a bit milder)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sumac (to garnish)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin (to garnish)
directions
- After draining the chickpeas well, put them all in a clean, large, cotton (non-terry) kitchen towel. Very gently rub the chickpeas to loosen their skins. Open the towel and discard all skins.
- Process all ingredients except for the garnishes in a food processor or blender until smooth, about 40 seconds. You may need to stop and occasionally scrape down the sides of the vessel.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- To serve, remove from fridge, garnish with your selections, and serve with toasted pita chips.

This was the best hummus I have made so far. I did add more lemon juice. At least 1/4 cup but probably more. Very good. I also replaced the chili powder with cumin. I also took your advice on peeling the beans and WOW, what a difference. This is the first time I've ever been able to make super smooth hummus. Thanks so much!
