Thermomix Classic Hummus
Creamy, smooth hummus made in minutes - perfect for dipping, spreading or serving with warm pita.
Servings: 450 grams
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.
Notes
Storage: Store the hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
