Ingredients

1 cup Chickpea / Garbanzo Bean Flour
2.25 cups Water
⅓ cup Tahini
Juice of 1 Lemon
2-3 Garlic Cloves crushed
¼ cup Olive Oil plus more for serving
Salt
Toppings Optional*

Instructions

In a medium pot, whisk together chickpea flour and about half of the water, until it's a thick paste.
Add remaining water, continue to whisk until smooth.
Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, and allow to simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Once time is up, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly as you proceed:
In a food processor, blitz tahini and lemon juice for 1 minute. Add garlic and olive oil, blitz for one more minute.
Add chickpea mixture, blitz for 1 more minute. If mixture is too thick, add water a little bit at a time until it reaches desired texture.
Season with salt to taste.
Serve with a drizzle of olive oil on top, as well as any toppings you would like.

Notes

See blog post for info on dealing with the thickness of the hummus - water amount is approximate, and the needed amount can vary between brands of chickpea flour.
