I wish I could remember where I got this tip, but it was during a random search one day. To the person that figured this out, Thank you! You have forever changed my world.
It turns out that in order to make perfect hummus one must add the ingredients to the food processor in the right order. Who would have thought? Certainly not me.
I make this recipe, or some version of it, almost weekly and we all snack on it throughout the day with veggies and Nut-Thin crackers.
1/4 C Tahini
Juice from 2 lemons (yields 1/4-1/3 cup)
2-3 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
2 shakes smoked paprika
1-2 shakes cayenne pepper
2 cans garbanzo beans
1/4- 1/2 can of water
Start by mixing the tahini and lemon juice together in the food processor for a minute or two. It will become lighter and slightly thicker. Next add the seasonings and blend for another minute. Add the garbanzo beans and a 1/4 of a can of water (I don't use the liquid in the cans because it grosses me out for some reason) Let everything blend together a minute or until fairly smooth then check to see if you want more seasonings and add more water if needed. Turn on again and let it do it's thing for a good 3-4 minutes on high.
What you will have when you turn off the food processor is the best homemade hummus ever! No lie!
