Easy Classic Hummus Recipe by Tasty

Ingredients

for 6 servings

15 oz
garbanzo beans, 1 can, drained and rinsed (425 g)
½ teaspoon
salt
½ teaspoon
ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
1 tablespoon
extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon
sesame oil
¼ cup
water (60 mL)

Preparation

Pour the rinsed chickpeas onto half the area of a kitchen towel. Fold the other half of the towel on top of the beans, and rub them so that the skins start to come off.
Place all of the peeled beans in the bowl of a food processor, along with the salt, cumin, and garlic. Turn the processor on to break up the mixture.
With the food processor running, pour in the lemon juice, olive oil, sesame oil, and water, and let the processor run until the mixture is smooth.
Serve with your choice of dipping chips or veggies.
Enjoy!

I made this! Super tasty. I used the goya brand i actually didn’t skin it. I used the whole pea as it is. I put a little more garlic because i like it garlicky and i also add it paprika which gives it a super nice kick. For the water i used the same water that comes in the can, i feel that makes the flavor rich it.

This was okay, but the recipe calls for too much cumin for my taste. I’d probably put in half next time. I also didn’t take the time to get rid of the chickpea skins, as I don’t notice a big difference in taste or texture. Make sure to add plenty of lemon juice to brighten it up!

I made the classic hummus. I recommend using a little bit more of the seasonings to cover up the faint garbanzo bean taste. Otherwise, it was yummy!

Added extra garlic, extra lemon juice, and extra sesame oil. Topped with sesame seeds and olive oil. Didn’t peel because I don’t mind the texture, turned out great!
