This is a basic recipe, so feel free to add whatever flavor enhancers you want. For the batch pictured here, I made the hummus immediately after I made charmoula sauce, so I just left a little charmoula in the food processor to flavor the hummus. I have also made hummus after making pesto & it turned out great too. Another favorite flavor enhancer of mine is roasted garlic.
Ingredients:
1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
1 hearty tablespoon tahini
2 or 3 T olive oil
1 or 2 T water
salt & pepper to taste
Add chickpeas, tahini, salt & pepper to food processor. Start by adding 2 T olive oil and 1 T water, then pulse. Add more oil or water if needed & continue to pulse until hummus is the consistency you like, scraping down the sides occasionally. If you're using a flavor enhancer that's already oily, like charmoula, you may not need as much oil.
