Dig in to the only hummus recipe you’ll ever need.
This recipe is adapted from one I received via email from a Lebanese colleague, whose mother made a similar hummus for him growing up in the US. It is garlicky, smooth and authentic. You can sub roasted garlic for beets, carrots, kale, red pepper, harissa, whatever your palate desires.
Hummus is easily made in a food processor, but if you have a high-speed blender, it’ll yield a more smooth, silken texture. A very good quality tahini, preferably imported from Lebanon or another Mediterranean country, will be the difference between good and incredible hummus. Either way, making it at home is far better than store bought!
Drizzle a little olive oil on top with some paprika and serve traditionally as a dip, or use as a spread in place of mayo in a sandwich, topped on salad, or on toast.
