How to Make Rockin Hummus

  1. Combine 1/2 cup tahini and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and frothy.
  2. Add 2 cloves garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Blend until well combined.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/3 (about 1 cup) of a 15-ounce can of chickpeas. Blend until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the remaining chickpeas, adding small amounts of the reserved chickpea liquid (about 2-4 tablespoons) as needed to create a smooth, easily blendable consistency.
  5. Continue blending until the mixture is thick but still moves easily within the blender. This should take approximately 1-2 minutes.
  6. Once the hummus is smooth, blend for an additional minute to ensure a perfectly creamy consistency.
  7. Add 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika and 1/4 teaspoon cumin (or your favorite spices). Blend briefly to combine.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more garlic, kalamata olives (1-2 tablespoons chopped), jalapenos (1/2 teaspoon chopped), pine nuts (1 tablespoon), or roasted red peppers (1 tablespoon chopped) to your liking.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers: toasted pita bread, wheat crackers, tortilla chips, and/or vegetables.
