This week, we are sharing the recipe of Hummus. Nothing beats the taste of freshly whipped hummus, still slightly warm from the chickpeas, with a generous drizzle of oil and a sprinkle of smoky paprika. It’s silky, garlicky, and just tangy enough from the lemon.
Whether you’re scooping it up with pita, smearing it on toast, or eating it straight off the spoon (no judgment), this hummus is about to become your new obsession.
Ingredients for Hummus
Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans) – 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed
Tahini (Sesame Seed Paste) – ¼ cup
Fresh Lemon Juice – 2–3 tbsp (approximately 1 large lemon)
Garlic – 1–2 cloves, minced (adjust to taste)
P Mark Mustard Oil – 2 tbsp
Cold Water – 2–4 tbsp (for adjusting consistency)
Ground Cumin – ½ tsp (optional, for added flavor)
Salt – Approximately ½ tsp, or according to taste
Paprika or Sumac – For garnish (optional)
Fresh Parsley – Chopped, for garnish (optional)
Method for Hummus
Drain and rinse them thoroughly. To achieve extra smooth hummus, gently rub the chickpeas with a clean kitchen towel to remove the skins.
In a food processor, combine the tahini and lemon juice. Process for about 1 minute until creamy and well-whipped. This helps create a smoother texture.
Add minced garlic, cumin (if using), and salt to the whipped tahini and lemon mixture. Process for another 30 seconds.
Add the chickpeas to the food processor. Process for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides as necessary. The mixture will be thick and slightly grainy at this point.
While the processor is running, gradually add P Mark Kachhi Ghani Mustard Oil and cold water.
Continue blending for another 1–2 minutes, until the hummus becomes smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust salt, lemon juice, or garlic as needed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika or sumac. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Your Hummus is ready! Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or use as a spread in wraps and sandwiches.
