MEDITERRANEAN HUMUS WITH VEGETABLE CRUDITÉS
INGREDIENTS
- 250 gr canned chickpeas
- 40 gr dry tomatoes
- 50 ml lemon juice (1 large lemon)
- 60 gr tahini
- 1 small garlic clove
- 30 ml (around 2 tablespoons) extra-virgin
olive oil, plus more for serving - Salt to taste
- 45 ml water (around 2/3 tablespoons)
- Ground paprika for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by combining tahini and lemon juice in a food processor or blender. Process for about 1 minute. Then add olive oil, garlic, and salt, and process for another 30 seconds.
Next, add the dried tomatoes and half of the chickpeas, and process for 1 minute. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add the remaining chickpeas. Process everything until it’s thick and relatively smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
To adjust the consistency, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water until you get the perfect texture. Taste your hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor.
Serve your hummus with flatbread and fresh-cut vegetables like carrots, peppers, and cucumber.
If you don’t have a food processor or blender, you can also make hummus using a potato masher or a fork. It will still give you a similar result, just a little chunkier!
