Equipment

  • High-speed blender

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs Preserved lemon
  • 2 tsp Brine from jar of preserved lemons
  • 2 Tbs Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • ½ cup Tahini
  • 1 Tbs Extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup Ice cold water (adjust amount to get desired texture)
  • 2 cups Chickpeas
  • ½ tsp Sumac

Instructions

  • Add the preserved lemons, brine, fresh lemon juice, and garlic to a high-speed blender. Allow to sit for about five minutes.
  • Add the tahini, olive oil, and water to the blender. Start blending slowly, then gradually increase the speed to medium. Continue blending until you have a smooth, light tahini cream.
  • Add the chickpeas. Start blending slowly, then gradually increase the speed to high. Continue blending until the hummus is very smooth.
  • Place the hummus in a container and stir in the sumac. Place the hummus in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors and texture to develop.

Notes

For the smoothest, most flavorful hummus, let it rest overnight in the refrigerator. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
