Description

A quick and simple homemade hummus recipe using canned chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and Greek yogurt for a smooth and creamy dip with a fresh lemony twist.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 x 400g can chickpeas, undrained
  • 1 tbsp tahini paste
  • 1 fat garlic clove, chopped
  • 3 tbsp 0% fat Greek yogurt
  • Good squeeze of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Drain Chickpeas: Drain the chickpeas into a sieve placed over a bowl or jug, catching the liquid for later use.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Place the chickpeas, tahini, chopped garlic, and Greek yogurt into a food processor or blender. Whizz until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Adjust Consistency: Gradually add the chickpea liquid, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until the hummus reaches a creamy and smooth consistency.
  4. Season and Finish: Scrape the hummus into a bowl, stir in a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and season to taste, mixing well before serving.

Notes

  • Use the reserved chickpea liquid to adjust the hummus texture instead of water for better flavor and creaminess.
  • For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the tahini before adding it if desired.
  • Add a pinch of salt or a drizzle of olive oil when serving for enhanced taste.
  • Hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
