Tips & Tricks (5)

Chickpea Texture Mastery 🧊
For the smoothest hummus, use chilled chickpeas and remove their skins by gently rubbing them between your hands before blending.
Sriracha Heat Control 🌶️
Add sriracha gradually and taste as you go to achieve the perfect level of spiciness without overwhelming the other flavors.
Tahini Emulsion Technique 🥣
Whisk tahini with lemon juice first to create a smooth, creamy base before incorporating other ingredients for better overall texture.
Garlic Intensity Hack 🧄
Roast the garlic beforehand to mellow its sharp edge and add a deeper, more complex flavor to your spicy hummus.
Perfect Consistency Trick 💦
Reserve some chickpea cooking liquid to adjust the hummus consistency, adding it slowly while blending to achieve your ideal creamy texture.
