Ingredients

  • 1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas (NOT drained)
  • 2 large cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 stalk green onion, trimmed and roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves (roughly chopped before measuring)
  • 1/2 cup tightly packed fresh parsley (roughly chopped before measuring)
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice (1 large lemon yields ~3 Tbsp juice)
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup tahini (find our tahini review here)
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt

FOR SERVING optional

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Microwave undrained chickpeas and whole garlic cloves in a medium-sized heatproof mixing bowl for 4-5 minutes (there should be ~2 inches of space at the top to prevent it from spilling over). Alternatively, bring to a boil in a small saucepan, then reduce to a simmer for 4-5 minutes.
  • While the chickpeas microwave/simmer, add the green onion, basil, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, and water to a high-speed blender. Blend until the herbs have broken down and you have a vibrant green mixture.
  • Drain the chickpeas and garlic and add them to the blender along with the tahini and the salt. Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed. Add more water or oil as needed to blend.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lemon juice for brightness, olive oil for creaminess, or salt for overall balance.
  • This hummus is delicious garnished with chili oil or chili crunch and served with veggies, crackers, and/or flatbread or gluten-free flatbread. It's also delicious on sandwiches! Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
