Turkuaz Kitchen Hummus Ingredients

• 2 cups chickpeas (canned or cooked) (*if you use canned chickpeas, peel the skin)
• 1 medium garlic clove
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/2 cup good quality tahini
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 6-8 tbsp iced water (you can add more if needed)
• 2 tbsp olive oil

How To Make Turkuaz Kitchen Hummus

1. Blend Chickpeas and Garlic: Place chickpeas and garlic in a food processor and blend them until they become a stiff paste.
2. Add Lemon Juice and Tahini: Add lemon juice, tahini, cumin, and salt, and continue to process it.
3. Add Iced Water and Olive Oil: Finally, add iced water and olive oil and blend them until smooth and creamy.
4. Traditional Method: You can also make the hummus using the traditional way without a food processor as shown in the recipe video.

Recipe Tips

• Peel the Chickpeas: Peeling the Chickpeas will make the hummus smoother and creamier.
• Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice enhances the flavor better than bottled lemon juice.
• Adjust Water for Texture: Add iced water slowly until you reach your desired consistency.
• High-Quality Tahini: Use good quality tahini for a richer, more authentic taste.
• Serve Immediately: Hummus tastes best when served fresh, but it can be stored if needed.

What To Serve With This Homemade Hummus

This creamy hummus pairs well with pita bread, fresh vegetables, olives, or falafel. It can also be served alongside grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a healthy lunch.

How To Store Hummus

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover hummus cool until it reaches room temperature. Then, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Freeze: Hummus can be frozen. Let it cool, then transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
