The Best Hummus Recipe Better Than Store Bought

You might be surprised at how easy it is to make high quality hummus from your very own kitchen. Using just one simple trick, I will show you how to make the fluffiest, creamiest hummus you’ve ever tried!

HUMMUS

Hummus: The most versatile dip with limitless accompaniments, like our Fried Tortilla Chips, Crispy Sweet Potato Wedges, or a few cheeky slices of our Artisan Bread. This hummus recipe is the perfect addition to your snack table which is why it’s so important to perfect that consistency! After years of testing dozens of different hummus recipes in a bid to achieve the perfect, creamy texture, I’ve finally found it! I’ve tried peeling each chickpea; tried leaving their husks on; and I’ve tried soaking them over night to see what happens but every single one of those methods yielded grainy results, no matter how long I processed the hummus for. But fear not, because I finally nailed the perfect consistency and the secret happened to be featured on The New York Times: This method plumps them up, softening their husks and makes for the creamiest restaurant quality hummus! Of course, you can skip the boiling if time doesn’t allow for it, however, I have found that it’s worth the extra effort, especially if you boil them while you’re getting the rest of your ingredients ready! Win-win.

HOW TO MAKE HUMMUS

First, you’re going to rinse canned chickpeas under cool, running water. Add them to a small pot and boil them as mentioned above until they’re really soft. While they’re boiling, grab the rest of your ingredients. By the time you’ve finished measuring everything else out, your chickpeas will be nice and soft and ready for processing.

Then, simply blend the rest of your ingredients together and watch how smooth it becomes in minutes. It’s so easy!

Sprinkle with paprika for a finishing touch and serve with crispy garlic baked potato wedges, or garlic naan. You could even create some homemade kebabs with our easy garlic flatbread and our classic greek chicken. You will love this hummus more than any plain ol’ grocery store hummus!
