Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz can) cannellini beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to food processor. Puree to make smooth, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Add reserved bean water if needed to reach desired consistency. I usually add about 2-3 tbsp. Serve immediately or store in fridge until ready.

Notes

  • Use a food processor, not a blender to make the hummus. The wider base is just better for homemade hummus.
  • While store-bought bottles can be quite convenient, they lack in flavor compared to the real thing. It really isn't that much extra work to freshly squeeze the lemon and you'll notice a difference in flavor.
  • Use quality tahini and olive oil as it lends to the flavor of the hummus.
  • Reserve the liquid from the canned cannellini beans and use in place of water to get the consistency you want.
