Ingredients
1
15-ounce can of white beans, rinsed and drained
¼
cup
tahini
¼
cup
lemon juice
2
cloves
garlic
peeled
2
tablespoons
olive oil
Salt
to taste
2
tablespoons
water or reserved bean liquid
as needed
Optional: Paprika
fresh parsley, or additional olive oil for garnish
Instructions
Combine white beans, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic in a food processor or blender.
Blend on high until smooth, adding olive oil gradually.
Add salt to taste and, if the hummus is too thick, add water or bean liquid to reach your desired consistency.
Continue to blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with more olive oil, then sprinkle with paprika or parsley if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use.
Notes
Ensure your white beans are thoroughly rinsed and drained if you're using canned beans to avoid a mushy texture.
For a creamier hummus, consider peeling the skins from each bean, though it's time-consuming.
Reserve some bean liquid or water to adjust the thickness of your hummus.
Adding a small amount of ice water while blending can improve the fluffiness and texture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning gradually. It's easier to add more than to correct an over-seasoned dish.
