5-Minute Hummus
Here’s the scoop: this addictive chickpea dip is worlds better than what you get at the store. Though the recipe calls for adding two tablespoons of water, we like using chickpea water from the can for an extra boost of flavor. When your hummus is smooth and ready for serving, pour it into a bowl and grab a large spoon. Then, press the back of the spoon into the center of the hummus and rotate the bowl clockwise to create a small well. This not only elevates the presentation of the dip, but it allows a drizzle of olive oil to pool perfectly in the middle.
How to Make It
Step 1
In a food processor, puree the chickpeas and garlic with the olive oil, lemon juice, tahini (if using), cumin, and ¾ teaspoon salt until smooth and creamy. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water as necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 2
Transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the paprika before serving.

Very easy, I had to make my own Tahini but that was easy too. I added some sriracha after the chick peas were paste and went around again for a minute in the food processor and it came out delicious.

I replaced the olive oil with 2 T. Greek yogurt, used about 1 T. mashed roasted garlic instead of fresh garlic (avoiding heartburn!), and replaced the spices and salt with 1 T. Gourmet Gardens Morrocan herbs. We keep it around all the time. Great on crackers, sandwiches, and as a dip for veggies.

I make this quite often, sometimes adding some roasted red pepper. My family won't eat premade hummus anymore - only this recipe!

Does anyone know how much = a serving? The recipe says it makes 1.5 cups and the nutritional information indicates that it is 145 calories per serving. . .but nowhere do I see how many servings the recipe makes or what a serving size is. Thanks!

This such a simple recipe to make anytime. We loved it, but didn't use the tahini [don't like the taste]. Next time will add sundried tomatoes.

Made this tonight for the first time--by far, the tastiest (and easiest!) hummus recipe I've tried so far. I did cut back the cumin to 2/3 t. If you're going to make this for a party, double or triple the recipe, as the original version does not make very much. However, it's fantastic!
