I’m fairly convinced that hummus is some of the best stuff on earth. It might look beige and boring in the bowl, but this blend of chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic creates a dip that is so much more than the sum of its parts. Skip the store-bought stuff — making it yourself is so easy and will be far tastier than just about anything from the deli section.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tsp. salt

  • 1 clove small garlic, coarsely chopped

  • 1 1/2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 3 tbsp. tahini

  • 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 cups drained, cooked chickpeas

Method

  • 01
    Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Drain the chickpeas into a strainer, reserving the liquid from the can. If time and patience allow, pinch the skins from each of the chickpeas; this will make your hummus smoother.
  • 02
    Combine all ingredients in the food processor. Combine the chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of the food processor fitted with the blade attachment or blender.
  • 03
    Blend hummus until smooth, at least 5 minutes. Process the hummus continuously until it becomes very smooth, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to integrate any large chunks.
  • 04
    Taste and adjust seasonings. Taste and add more of any of the ingredients to taste. If your hummus is stiffer than you'd like, blend 2 to 3 tablespoons of the reserved chickpea liquid to thin it out and make the hummus creamier.
  • 05
    Transfer to a bowl and serve. Scrape the hummus into a bowl and serve with chips or raw vegetables.
