I think that the best hummus recipe you could ask for is one that tastes rich and delicious, but at the same time is thick, has a bit of smoke 😉 and is super creamy in texture. If you don’t know by now, I looooove turmeric, I double, triple, or sometimes quadruple in my recipes.
And let me tell you a secret .... hummus is super simple to make at home, and tastes so much better than any other hummus you’ll find at the grocery store. I love eating it for breakfast, for lunch and sometimes for diner on a slice of bread or with veggies.
Ingredients
- 400g organic chickpeas ( Biona Organic Chick Peas - Biona Organic)
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp turmeric
- 1 tsp curry powder
- ½ cup smoked cheese (Applewood)
- 3 cloves garlic
- salt
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 cup tahini
Instructions
- Drain the chickpeas and add them to a medium sized pot.
- Add a few cups of water (2-3) and bring the water to a boil. Boil the chickpeas for at least 25-30 minutes or until the skin starts to fall off from the chickpeas.
- Chickpea skins are edible, but if you want a creamy hummus, peel the chickpeas.
Take a handful of chickpeas and rub under running water to remove the skins, discard skins and let the chickpeas cool completely before you start adding them in your food processor. - With the food processor running, drop the garlic cloves in through the feed tube to chop fine (or add chickpeas, tahini, cheese and garlic into a blender if you don’t have a food processor) Stop the processor and add chickpeas, tahini and cheese, let the food processor run for at 4 to 5 minutes, run the food processor for a few minutes so the hummus mixture will blend well enough to a smooth texture, test, and if needed, add a bit of hot water through the opener of the food processor as it’s running to help continue to smooth the hummus even more until it’s completely creamy.
- And don’t forget to scrape the walls of the food processor several times in between to make sure you will obtain that nice consistency.
- While the food processor is running, add the other ingredients, blend for about 4 minutes or so. Check if the consistency is too thick still, run processor and slowly add a little hot water.
- Blend until you reach desired silky-smooth consistency
