Name: Zahav- Hummus (5-minute version)
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: israeli
Ingredients: 1/2 garlic clove; 1 large lemon (juiced, about 1/4 cup); 1 11-oz jar tehina (preferably Soom brand (found at Whole Foods)); 1 tablespoon kosher salt; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 to 1 ½ cups ice water (cold water with a few ice cubes); 2 15.5-ounce cans chickpeas(garbanzo beans) (drained and rinsed); Garnish options (parsley, olive oil, and/or lemon ); Cucumbers (sliced, as hummus dippers)

1

Put garlic, lemon juice, salt, cumin, and tehina into the food processor making sure to scrape all of the tehina out of the container. Process until mixture looks peanut-buttery, about 1 minute.

2

Then stream in ice water, a little at a time, with the motor running. Process just until the mixture is smooth and creamy and lightens to the color of dry sand. Now you have tehina!

3

To make hummus, add chickpeas to the tahini and process for about 3 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go (if needed), until chickpeas are completely blended and hummus is smooth and uniform in color.

4

Using a spatula, transfer hummus to a bowl and garnish as desired.

5

Some simple garnish ideas are paprika, parsley, olive oil, and/or lemon.

6

Serve with sliced cucumbers, your favorite dipping veggies, or gluten free crackers.

7

Refrigerate unused hummus in an air-tight container until ready to eat.
