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 Middle Eastern dip tastes amazing with everything and my favourite way to enjoy it is with warm pita bread, crudities and nachos. It can also be used for the base of any sandwich or wrap and can be stored in the fridge for a week so there's always some on hand.
There are many varieties of Hummus and the beauty is you can play around with different flavour combinations until you find ones you like. I use this classic version as the base for all my Hummus recipes and love experimenting with different types of foods such as beetroot, red peppers, sweet potatoes, sun dried tomatoes and even peas.
One of the main ingredients for Hummus is Tahini. I make my Tahini in the Thermomix from ground sesame seeds and a little oil, this saves a lot of money and tastes so much better! You can find the recipe here.
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.
To Make Ahead and Freeze
The good news is that Hummus freezes well! Just store in an airtight freezer-safe container allowing room for expansion. To thaw out, leave in the refrigerator the day before you want to use it. It should last up to three months in the freezer.

Thermomix Classic Hummus
An easy recipe for Thermomix Hummus that's delicious and affordable. Can be made in the Thermomix in less than 10 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 medium garlic clove, peeled
- 400 g can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 60 g tahini, mixed well before using
- 10 g extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons of fresh 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, cumin. Mix for 1 min/speed 4. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and mix again for 1-3 mins/speed 4. If it's too chunky, add a little ice-cold water through the hole in the lid, while the blades are still running, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper, and add a little extra lemon if you like it more lemony. Consistency note: Even when fully blended in the Thermomix, the hummus may still have a slight, very fine grain - it won’t be 100% silky-smooth, and that’s completely normal.
- To serve, sprinkle some sumac or paprika on top and drizzle with olive oil.
Notes
Hummus can be stored in airtight container in the fridge for a week and three months in the freezer.

Alastair says
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!
