An easy recipe for Thermomix hummus that's quick and delicious. It takes less than ten minutes to make and tastes so much fresher and healthier than store bought varieties.
Once you try this hummus, there's no going back. This classic dip is smooth, creamy and works with everything, from warm pita bread and crudités to wraps and sandwiches. It also keeps well in the fridge for up to a week, so you can always have some on hand.
Hummus is incredibly versatile, and once you have a good base recipe, you can easily adapt it to suit your taste. This classic version is the one I use for my roasted beetroot hummus.
How to Make
Start off by chopping the garlic finely in the Thermomix then add the rest of the ingredients. Mix for 2-4 minutes on speed 4 until lovely and creamy. If the hummus is a little thick, thin out with a little ice cold water until desired consistency.
Recipe Tip
Tahini is a key ingredient in hummus. If you don't have any on hand, you can make your own in the Thermomix. See my homemade tahini recipe for the full method.
Storage
Store the hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
📖 Recipe
Thermomix Classic Hummus
Ingredients
- 1 medium garlic clove peeled
- 400 g can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 60 g tahini
- 10 g extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 50 g ice cold water to thin it out
Garnish (optional)
- A sprinkling of sumac or paprika
- A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Add the garlic to the Thermomix bowl and chop for 5 sec/speed 7. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.
- Add the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and cumin. Blend for 1 min/speed 4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then blend again for 1-3 min/speed 4. If the hummus is too thick, add a little ice-cold water through the hole in the lid while the blades are running until you reach your desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper, and add extra lemon juice to taste.
- Consistency note: Even when fully blended, the hummus may have a very slight, fine grain. It won't be completely silky-smooth, and that's perfectly normal.
- To serve, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sumac or paprika.

Yep, I made it, delicious, thanks
.I used soaked and cooked chick peas, and I had no lemon, so I can report it works well with Lime instead of lemon as well.

I am not really a fan of hummus but wanted to use up the lockdown chickpeas - this was definitely a good use of them! Nice and creamy with a lovely subtle lemony taste. Thank you!

This turned out great! Thanks for sharing. I added a few spoons of Greek yogurt to make it a little creamier and it tasted delicious.
