Loaded Hummus Platter
Servings: 0

Ingredients

  • 3 large garlic cloves
  • 2 cups canned chickpeas drained and liquid reserved
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)
  • 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice from about 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons reserved liquid from the chickpeas
  • 8 dashes hot sauce optional
  • drizzled of extra-virgin olive oil for garnish
  • olives, capers, cucumbers, tomatoes, chickpeas, feta cheese optional ingredients for "loading" your hummus

Instructions

  • You'll need a food processor fitted with a steel blade for the hummus. Drop the garlic down the feed tube and process until it's minced. Add the chickpeas, salt, tahini, lemon juice, reserved chickpea liquid and hot sauce into the food processor and process until the hummus is pureed and smooth. Taste and season, if needed. Serve the hummus on a serving platter (chilled or at room temperature) with a drizzle of olive oil. Top your hummus with the ingredients of your choice. I usually store the hummus in the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before serving.
