This classically flavoured Plain Hummus is one of those foods where the homemade version ruins you for the shop-bought kind. Luckily it is super simple to make with easy to obtain ingredients. My version is creamy, silky smooth and ready in just 15 minutes.
Drain the liquid from 400g Tinned Chickpeas. Set the liquid aside if you intend to use it elsewhere.
Peel the chickpeas by popping the skin off each chickpea with your fingers and discarding the skins.
Add the peeled chickpeas, 2 tbsp Tahini Paste, 1 tsp Garlic Paste, 2 tbsp Lemon Juice, 1 tsp Sea Salt Flakes and 4 tbsp Cold Water to a small processor or blender.
Blitz until smooth. You may need to add more cold water to achieve the desired consistency.
Taste it. Add more lemon, more salt, more tahini and/or more garlic as you wish. Blitz again and repeat until you love the flavour.
Serve the hummus swirled with 1 tbsp Olive Oil and 0.5 tsp Sumac/Paprika (optional).
