Extra-Smooth Hommos Recipe
For when texture is the priority.
Ingredients
- 400g very tender cooked chickpeas
- 130g tahini
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove
- 4–6 tbsp cooking liquid
- Salt
- Olive oil
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 45 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Method
Step 1
Cook chickpeas until exceptionally tender.
Step 2
Blend the warm chickpeas thoroughly before adding the other ingredients.
Step 3
Blend in tahini and lemon, then add garlic.
Step 4
Use cooking liquid gradually to reach a silky consistency.
Step 5
Taste and balance before serving.
What makes it work?
The goal is balance: creamy chickpeas, rich sesame, bright acidity and controlled garlic. Taste as you go rather than relying on a fixed ratio.
Serving tip
Serve fresh, spread into a shallow bowl, then finish with a little olive oil and your preferred garnish.
