THE BEST HUMMUS

This is a classic tahini-forward, bright and lemony hummus, and is similar to what you would find in Israel. We tried this recipe with from-scratch dried chickpeas as well as with canned, and the flavor and texture were only marginally better with the freshly cooked. And we saved 24 hours of prep time! So for a creamy, satisfying 15-minute hummus, we're going with the can.

Steps:

  • Drain the chickpeas in a medium mesh sieve, reserving the liquid. Reserve about 7 chickpeas for garnish.
  • Process the tahini, garlic and cumin in a food processor. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup of the reserved chickpea liquid (if you don't have exactly 2/3 cup, add water until the total amount is 2/3 cup) and process until light and very creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. The mixture will appear broken at first but will come together after all the liquid is added and has been processed for a minute or two.
  • Add the chickpeas, the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the tahini mixture. Process until the mixture is extremely smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally, about 4 minutes. Thin with more water if you prefer a looser consistency. Taste and season with more salt, lemon juice or cumin as desired.
  • Spoon the hummus into a shallow bowl, making a well in the center, and drizzle liberally with oil. Top with the reserved chickpeas and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with pita bread, pita chips or cut raw vegetables.

One 15.5-ounce can chickpeas
2/3 cup tahini
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, plus more if desired
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more if desired
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Hot smoked paprika, for sprinkling
Toasted pita bread, pita chips or cut raw vegetables, for serving

LIGHT HUMMUS

This is a scrumptious hummus using less oil. It's adapted from Martha Shulman's Mediterranean Light and works well with Brenda's "Middle Eastern Tuna Salad Pitas" or as a dip with raw vegetables.

SUPER QUICK LIGHT HUMMUS

I find home-made hummus can be a bit dry and I'm not a big fan of the taste of olive oil either. This method makes a light creamy hummus without any oil.

  • Place the drained chickpeas in the food processor. Add the grated garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, salt, cumin, coriander, and paprika and process until really smooth, scraping the walls of the food processor a few times in between.
  • Add some cooking water (or water from the chickpea can) little by little to obtain the desired consistency. You don't have to add it all, just stop when you think the consistency is right, it should have more or less the consistency of mashed potatoes.
  • Adjust the taste with more lemon juice or salt. Transfer to a bowl, and sprinkle with nigella seeds.

HUMMUS – THE BEST! – REAL FOOD
Silky smooth, light, fluffy and eminently lickable when warm right off the spoon. For me the 4 things that make this recipe work are: using dried chickpeas; briefly cooking with baking soda; using a GOOD tahini and using LOTS of it; finishing with ice water; IMO, if you don't follow these 4 things, your hummus may be good but it won't be ethereal.
