  • step 2

    Add the garlic, lemon and tahini, and blitz again. If the consistency is too thick, gradually pour in up to 30ml more water. Blitz again for about 5 mins, or until the hummus is smooth and silky.

  • step 3

    Season with a good pinch of sea salt and transfer to a bowl. Swirl the top of the hummus with the back of a dessert spoon and drizzle over a little olive oil. Serve with crunchy crudités and toasted pitta bread, if you like.

Had no tahini so used peanut butter. Added a dash of sweet chilli sauce, some chilli flakes and a bit of salt. I know it sounds disgusting but it’s really delicious!

I made this today for the first time, I used my Smoothie Maker as I haven’t got a food processor - it’s on my shopping list. I added a chopped Red Pepper & a touch of Paprika to it - yummy.

tip

We tend to buy bags of dried chickpeas and cook them in a slow cooker. They taste better than tinned. The cooking water adds to the flavour as well. Olive oil is expensive nowadays but a fairly good olive oil certainly adds to the flavour as does extra garlic and chilli peppers to taste.

I drained the oil from settled tahini, while blending I added water, then lemon juice, this reduced calories, flavour was still amazing

question

Can you freeze this?

GoodFoodTeam_

Hello, yes homemade hummus can be frozen. Freeze in an airtight container for up to two months. Defrost overnight in the fridge. It will need a good stir before serving. Thanks for your question - Good Food Team
