Best Hummus Recipe in 15 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Place the tahini, lemon juice, and salt in the food processor. Process for 1 minute until the mixture is thickened and pale. Note: This creates the stable emulsion needed for a smooth finish.
2. Add the drained chickpeas and chopped garlic to the processor.
3. Blend on high for 3-5 minutes until the grainy texture disappears. Note: Don't stop early; this is where the velvety texture happens.
4. While the processor is running on low, slowly drizzle in the ice cold water.
5. Continue drizzling in the extra virgin olive oil until the hummus reaches a light, whipped ivory color.
6. Add the ground cumin and pulse for 10 seconds to integrate.
7. Taste and add a pinch more salt or a squeeze of lemon if the flavors aren't bold enough.
8. Scoop into a bowl and create a swirl with a spoon for the oil garnish.
