Tips & Tricks (5)

Pepper Roasting Perfection 🔥
Char red bell peppers directly over a gas flame or under the broiler until the skin is completely blackened, which intensifies their smoky flavor and makes peeling easier.
Tahini Transformation 🥣
Stir tahini thoroughly before adding to the recipe, as natural separation occurs, and whisk it with lemon juice first to create a smoother, creamier base for your hummus.
Texture Mastery 🥢
Reserve some chickpea liquid (aquafaba) and add it gradually while blending to achieve your desired consistency - more liquid for a silky smooth hummus, less for a chunkier texture.
Garlic Intensity Control 🧄
For a milder garlic flavor, briefly blanch the garlic cloves in boiling water for 30 seconds before adding to the hummus, which softens the sharp raw garlic bite.
Flavor Layering Technique 🌶️
Toast ground cumin in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the hummus to unlock deeper, nuttier flavor notes that complement the roasted peppers.
