Equipment

  • blender or food processor

Ingredients

  • 15 oz can chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained and rinsed
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ jalapeño to taste, stem and seeds removed
  • 1 juice of a lime
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons water

Instructions

  • Puree all ingredients in a blender or food processor until very smooth. Be patient when blending.  You may need to stop a few times and scrap down the sides with a spatula to get everything moving.

Notes

  • Cilantro stems are edible, although you may want to chop off and discard the very bottoms of the stem and remove any bad leaves.  
  • Depending on how spicy you want your hummus, use as much or as little jalapeño as you like.  You can start with a small chunk, then taste your finished hummus and add more.
  • Blend a long time for ultra smooth hummus!
