Description

This classic Hummous Bi Tahini is the ultimate comfort food, offering a silky smooth texture and a deep, nutty flavor profile. Made with simple pantry staples like canned chickpeas, rich tahini paste, fresh lemon juice, and aromatic cumin, it comes together effortlessly in a food processor. The addition of a touch of Vitamin C helps achieve that impossibly creamy consistency found in restaurant dips. It is perfect for serving alongside warm pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches. This versatile vegan dip is great for casual gatherings, potlucks, or a quick weeknight appetizer.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Place the garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse until finely minced.
  3. Add the rinsed chickpeas, olive oil, tahini paste, lemon juice, salt, pepper, cumin, and Vitamin C crystals to the processor.
  4. Process the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with paprika, olives, and parsley, and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Substitution: Lemon juice can be replaced with 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid dissolved in 6 oz of hot water for a sharper tang.

Tip: For the smoothest texture, you can peel the skins off the canned chickpeas before blending, though this is optional.

Serving: Best served with warm pita bread, fresh vegetable sticks, or crackers.
