Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Pressure Cooker (optional)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chickpeas
  • 1 juiced + zested lemon
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp freshly ground pepper
  • ½ tsp dried dill weed
  • ¼-½ cup water as needed
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to your food processor in the order listed, minus the water and olive oil.
  • Pulse a few times, then drizzle in a splash of water, continuing to pulse, adding a spoonful of water at at time. Once the hummus is spinning smoothly, but is still thick, let the food processor run, pausing once or twice to scrape down the edges.
  • When the hummus is completely creamy, drizzle in the olive oil, and let the food processor run for another minute or two. (Note: this step can be skipped to make this recipe oil-free.)
  • Enjoy the hummus as a dip, on avocado toast, on sandwiches, in wraps, instead of mayo for tuna salad, or as a base for roasted veggie bowls.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container int he fridge for up to four days.
