How to Make Perfect Homemade Hummus (Vegan) image

For the longest time, a Perfect Homemade Hummus recipe has eluded me...try as I might, I just haven't been able to get the recipe tasting just right, and it has never been quite smooth enough - but not any longer. I have finally discovered the secret to the perfect homemade hummus - and it's waaay better than the hummus you get in the shops! (Serves 4-8, depending on how you are using it.)

Ingredients

2 x 400g cans chickpeas (drained (reserve chickpea water & a few chickpeas))
75 ml chickpea water
4 tablespoons tahini
Juice of 1 lemon
4 cloves of garlic ((crush these first if your blender is a bit on the weedy side))
1 teaspoon of salt ((yes really - it makes a big difference to the flavour))
4 tablespoons olive oil (ideally good quality extra virgin, plus extra for drizzling)
1 teaspoon paprika (ideally smoked (optional))
1 tablespoon fresh coriander / cilantro (optional)

Steps:

Place the drained chickpeas, 75ml chickpea water, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt and olive oil in a high speed blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes (I use the fruit and veg setting on my Froothie, which takes 1 minute 30 seconds).
Put on a plate or in a shallow bowl and decorate with the reserved chickpeas, paprika and fresh coriander.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2x 14 oz (400 g) tins chickpeas, drained
2 lemons, zest and juice
1 large clove garlic
3 tablespoons tahini
2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Approx. 4 tablespoons cold water
Large handful fresh coriander ((approx. 30 g - optional))
Sea salt to taste

Steps:

Blend the lemon juice and garlic together in a food processor. If your food processor isn't very powerful, or the blades might not catch all of the garlic, you can chop the garlic and mellow it in the lemon juice for a couple of minutes first.
Next, add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon zest, and olive oil. Blend until smooth.
Add the coriander and salt, and gradually add cold water (this will make it light and fluffy). Blend until you have a smooth, creamy consistency.
Serve with drizzled olive oil and chopped coriander. To use in another recipe, try out this easy hummus pasta.
