Healthy Homemade Organic Hummus

The BEST homemade hummus 😍

INGREDIENTS:

15 oz. organic chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1/2 tsp baking soda

¼ cup lemon juice, or more to taste

2 tsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp fine sea salt, to taste

1/2 cup organic tahini

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 tbsp organic ev olive oil

☝️Optional for Garnish: Drizzle of olive oil, sprinkle of or paprika, chopped fresh parsley 🌿

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place chickpeas in a medium saucepan. Add the baking soda. Cover the chickpeas by several inches of water, then bring the mixture to a boil. Continue boiling for about 20 minutes, or until the chickpeas look bloated, their skins are falling off, and they’re soft. Drain & run under cool water. Set aside (no need to peel the chickpeas for this recipe!).

2. In a food processor, combine the lemon juice, garlic, salt, and tahini until thick and creamy (about 5-8 minutes - it will thicken a lot!)

3. Add the cumin, olive oil, and drained chickpeas. Blend until the mixture is super smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor as necessary. Add 1-2 tbsp ice water if too thick.

4. Taste, and adjust as necessary w/ salt, more lemon juice, or anything else you’d like! Serve & enjoy!

Store in fridge for up to a week.
