Notes
- Balanced Flavors: To ensure a harmonious blend of flavors, start with the recommended amounts of garlic, lemon juice, and spices. Then, taste and adjust accordingly. Sometimes, a little extra lemon juice or a pinch more salt can make all the difference in bringing out the hummus's flavors.
- Chill for Best Taste: After blending and if possible, let the hummus chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld together and intensify, resulting in a richer, more cohesive taste.
- Smooth Consistency: For an ultra-smooth texture, blend the hummus for at least a minute. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor. This extended blending time ensures that all ingredients are thoroughly combined and smooth, giving your hummus a professional-quality texture.
