Monday Recipe” : Hummus (May 13)

- 3 to 4 ice cubes
- ⅓ cup (79 grams) Tahini paste
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Hot water (if needed)
- Add chickpeas and minced garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Puree until a smooth, powder-like mixture forms.
- While processor is running, add ice cubes, tahini, salt, and lemon juice. Blend for about 4 minutes or so. Check, and if the consistency is too thick still, run processor and slowly add a little hot water. Blend until you reach desired silky smooth consistency.
