Creamy Hummus Recipe

Store-bought hummus just won’t cut it once you start making your own. I love the Rosh Hashanah-inspired addition of sweet leeks here.

Ingredients

Hummus

15 ounces Gefen Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 to 3 small garlic cloves
juice and zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons Haddar Tahini
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin or Pereg Falafel Spice
1/4 cup ice water (This amount is my preference. The more you use, the thinner the consistency, so be sparing if you prefer a thicker hummus.)
Gefen Olive Oil, to blend

Sauteed Leeks

Gefen Olive Oil, for sauteing
1 leek, sliced into thin strips
1 knob ginger, grated
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon Gefen Honey

Store-bought hummus just won’t cut it once you start making your own. I love the Rosh Hashanah-inspired addition of sweet leeks here.

Ingredients

Hummus

15 ounces Gefen Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 to 3 small garlic cloves
juice and zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons Haddar Tahini
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin or Pereg Falafel Spice
1/4 cup ice water (This amount is my preference. The more you use, the thinner the consistency, so be sparing if you prefer a thicker hummus.)
Gefen Olive Oil, to blend

Sauteed Leeks

Gefen Olive Oil, for sauteing
1 leek, sliced into thin strips
1 knob ginger, grated
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon Gefen Honey

Directions

Step 1 - Prepare the Hummus

Place chickpeas, garlic, lemon zest and juice, tahini, salt and falafel spice in a high-powered blender and mix.
Add ice water as you blend. This helps break down the chickpeas and will create a lighter, smoother hummus. Add water according to preference.
As it continues blending, drizzle slowly with olive oil. Let the blender keep going until you have a velvety, creamy consistency, roughly five to 10 minutes.

Step 2 - Prepare the Sauteed Leeks

Heat olive oil in a pan. Add sliced leek and saute until soft and translucent.
Add ginger and salt and saute for another five minutes.
Add honey and saute for two more minutes until combined.
