Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups cooked cooked chickpeas or 1 16 oz can* skins removed
  • 1/4 cup Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil removed from oil + 1-2 tablespoons chopped as reserved for garnish
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 lemon juiced about 1 tablespoon
  • 1/4 cup tahini or 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2-3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or another neutral oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8-1/4 cup water or oil

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients except oil and water and reserved sun dried tomatoes for garnish to food processor and blend. While blending, slowly add the oil.
  • Blend until creamy, stopping once to scrape down sides.
  • Once all of the olive oil is added, for desired creaminess, while still blending, add a little water, a tablespoon at a time for desired creaminess, or add more oil.
  • Serve with raw veggies, crackers, or chips!

Notes

This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of hummus.
Adjust Creaminess: Slowly add the oil while ingredients are blending.  Once you have added all of the oil, if you want it creamier, you can add some water a tablespoon at a time, or more oil.  
Substitutes:
Tahini: If you don't have any tahini, you can substitute 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to add the sesame flavor. 
Garlic: Substitute 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder for 2 garlic cloves.
Oil: Use vegetable or canola in place of extra virgin olive oil - although olive oil adds the best flavor for an authentic hummus.
