Hummus
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cloves of garlic, inside green stem removed*
  • 4 tbsp. chickpea water (the liquid from the chickpea can)
  • 2 cans of chickpeas, rinsed thoroughly
  • ⅓ cup tahini
  • 6 tbsp. lemon juice, freshly squeezed (about 2 lemons)
  • 2 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 10 splashed of hot sauce (I used Franks, so if using a more concentrated hot sauce start with less)
*When you slice a piece of garlic in half lengthwise, you will see a green stemlike thing. Pull it out and throw it away. I always thought that this was some sort of kitchen myth so I stopped doing it awhile ago. I learned from David Lebovitz taste test post that if you aren't cooking the garlic, the green germ inside makes your dish bitter. Since we aren't cooking this garlic get those green centers out. Batches 1 and 2 of my hummus had the centers in them ,and the third batch did not. I could taste the difference!
Instructions
  1. Cut garlic in half to remove the green centers.
  2. Next cut the cloves into even sized pieces and throw them into the bowl of your food processor. Turn the food processor on and break the garlic up into smaller pieces.
  3. Add chickpeas, 2 tbsp of chick pea water, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and hot sauce. Process for about 30 seconds, add in additional 2 tbsp of water, food process again until desired thickness.
