3tablespoonstahini
juice of 1 or 2 lemons
½teaspoongarlic powder
½teaspoononion powderoptional
½teaspoonsalt
2tablespoonsextra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Place ingredients in food processor and blend until combined. Slow add in 1 Tablespoon of the reserved bean liquid* until it reaches your desired consistency and creaminess (I usually add 3 Tablespoons).
Give it a taste -- and ensure it doesn't need anything else. Consider white black pepper for a little kick, more lemon, more tahini for nuttiness, or salt. Serve with crackers, on bread, with carrots and celery, or bell peppers at room temperature or cold.
Notes
This recipes makes 1 ½ cups. Storage: Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. *If you forget to reserve the bean liquid when draining (it happens to the best of us), just add water instead.
