Ingredients
Hummus Ingredients
- 15 ounce can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounce can artichoke hearts, drained
- 1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup cold water
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the chickpeas, artichoke hearts, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil into the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Process Smooth: Blend until the mixture is very smooth, about one minute. Pause to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even blending.
- Add Water and Salt: Start the machine again and slowly add the cold water through the feed tube. Once fully blended, add salt to taste and blend briefly to incorporate.
- Serve: Spoon the hummus into a shallow bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and scatter a few chickpeas on top for garnish. Serve with pita chips or raw vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- For a thinner consistency, add more cold water gradually until desired texture is reached.
- The hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Try adding paprika or chopped fresh herbs on top for extra flavor and presentation.
