No photo of hummus - we all know what it looks like and mine looks the same, but there the resemblance ends. Hummus but not as you know it. Hummus your way (as they say at BK).
This makes two tubs the size of the large supermarket versions.
Ingredients
1 jar Navarrico Garbanzos (chickpeas to you and me) - they cost more than canned chickpeas but the quantity is larger and the quality is just superb.
1 large clove garlic
half a juicy lemon, juice only
2.5 T tahini
1 t fine salt, black pepper
2 T good olive oil
water to loosen if needed or wanted
Method
1. Drop the garlic through the lid onto the Thermomix blades moving at speed 10 for a few seconds to finely chop the garlic.
2. Add everything else but the water and blend starting at speed 4 and increasing to 6 - be guided by how the sound changes. When it sounds as if the blades are not catching the mixture go up .5 of speed. Scrape down the sides if needed.
3. Look inside and taste. At this point it's up to you. A little water will loosen and make the hummus creamier. You may want to add more salt and pepper, lemon, or tahini. Play with your food children! Get it just how you want it. A bit more blending and it should be smooth and incredibly creamy.
