Ingredients

•1/3 cup – 1 cup water or chickpea brine

•5 cups cooked chickpeas (or 3 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained [but reserve the liquid])

•5 medium cloves garlic

•1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)

•1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (plus more to taste if desired)

•1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2-3 juicy large lemons)

•1 cup tahini

Cooking Instructions

01
To the bowl of a large food processor fitted with the S blade, add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, cumin if using, and 1/3 cup water or chickpea brine. Puree until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, gradually add more water or chickpea brine until the hummus has reached the desired consistency (I like a nice spreadable yet peak-and-valley consistency like buttercream). Taste and add more salt if desired.To freeze, divide between freezer-safe containers. Top with air-tight lids and add labels (key if youre forgetful like me).To thaw, transfer from freezer to refrigerator. The hummus should be thawed in about 24 hours. If the thawed hummus seems too grainy, puree in a high-speed blender with a tablespoon or two of water until smooth.Keeps well in the freezer for up to 3 months.

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
