  1. 01

    Add chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and lemon juice to a food processor.

  2. 02

    Add a few ice cubes to help achieve a smooth, creamy texture.

  3. 03

    Blend for about 5 minutes until very smooth.

  4. 04

    Taste and adjust seasoning.

  5. 05

    Serve drizzled with olive oil.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Let the processor run a full five minutes and toss in those ice cubes. The long blend and the cold are what whip hummus into something light and fluffy instead of thick and pasty.”
