Ingredients
Scale
- 1 15oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 2–3 teaspoons harissa paste (depending on spice level)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup water (plus more, if needed)
Instructions
- Add the chickpeas to a pot and cover with 1″ of water. Add the baking soda and stir. Bring the chickpeas to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chickpeas are completely softened.
- Drain the chickpeas, then add them to a food processor. While the food processor is running, drizzle in the tahini, then the olive oil. Stop the food processor and scrape down the sides.
- Add the harissa and continue to blend.
- While the food processor is running, drizzle in very cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the hummus is smooth.
- Transfer to a serving dish, and top with an additional drizzle of harissa, if desired.
- If you’re not serving it right away, store in the fridge and stir in a bit of water before serving, as the hummus will thicken when chilled.
