Ingredients

1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup tahini
5 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 clove garlic
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
Serving suggestion: Assorted flat breads, and brine-cured olives

Directions

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, water, tahini, 5 tablespoons lemon juice, salt, and garlic and puree. While the motor is running, pour in the olive oil and process until fully incorporated. Season with pepper, to taste. Store in the refrigerator for 6 hours, for the flavors to come together.

When ready to serve, remove the hummus from the refrigerator and stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice and parsley. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with flat breads and olives. Store any leftover hummus in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Not my kind of Hummus!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I hate to do this since I haven't even made this recipe. However, I'm from the Middle East and I can't imagine making Hummus... this way. Waaaay too much Tahina, you only need a tablespoon or 2. Also, I never, add water. If I need a little (key word is little) liquid I add the liquid from the garbonzo beans. Hummus is a wonderful healthy dish if made right. Try dipping fresh broccoli, carrots or zucchini sticks to make it even healthieRead more

Very good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I think this recipe was great although i had a few alterations to it. I did not have as much lemon as the recipe called for,... I only had 3 tablespoons, but it came out delicious. Also, there was too much tahini so I just added about a 1/4 cup more chick peas. This recipe was delicious!Read more

Too much tahini
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I'll go right out and say it, I made this recipe exactly and it was the most terrible thing I put in my mouth. It had the... consistency of paste and was way too watery. But I think the real kicker is WAAAAAAAYYY too much tahini. The recipe I literally just made called for a tablespoon and a half.

Hummus that is ho hum
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Taste and texture were not there. I believe that based on the other hummus recipes listed on foodnetwork that the amount of... water listed is greatly over-stated.Read more

Yum!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I thought this hummus was great. After reading the other reviews, I started out by using only a quarter-cup of water,... and found that I did not need to add any more. I drained the can of chickpeas before adding them to the mixture. A good-quality olive oil makes a big difference.Read more

Watery!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Way too much water! I followed the recipe just like it says. It came out very soupy and nothing like hummus. Very... disappointing...Read more
