Ingredients
Scale
Hummus Base
- 2 x 400g cans chickpeas in water, drained
- 2 fat garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp tahini paste
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons
Herbs
- 20g pack coriander
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Drain the chickpeas thoroughly and roughly chop the garlic cloves to ready them for blending.
- Blend the Base: Place the drained chickpeas, chopped garlic, Greek yogurt, tahini paste, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice into a food processor. Whizz until the mixture is fairly smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
- Season and Add Coriander: Season the hummus generously with salt and pepper to taste. Add the coriander to the food processor and pulse a few times until the coriander is roughly chopped and evenly distributed throughout the hummus.
- Serve: Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra extra-virgin olive oil. Serve immediately or chill for later.
Notes
- For an extra smooth hummus, remove the skins from the chickpeas before blending.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a small chopped chili during blending.
- Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice may alter the taste.
