Hummus with Crudités
Hummus with crudités takes ten minutes and no cooking at all: blended chickpeas, tahini, lemon, and whatever vegetables are on hand. D.O.P. Monti Iblei 04's clean, bright lift is what makes a simple version taste like more than the sum of its parts.
Ingredients
- 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup D.O.P. Monti Iblei 04, plus more for serving
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 clove garlic
- Salt, to taste
- Carrots, cucumber and bell peppers, for serving
Instructions
- Combine the chickpeas, tahini, D.O.P. Monti Iblei 04, lemon juice, garlic, and salt in a food processor.
- Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides, then, with the machine running, drizzle in the reserved chickpea liquid a tablespoon at a time until the hummus reaches a light, creamy consistency.
- Taste and adjust with more salt or lemon juice as needed.
- Spread the hummus onto a plate or shallow bowl, using the back of a spoon to create a swirl pattern.
- Finish with a generous final drizzle of D.O.P. Monti Iblei 04 and serve with raw carrots, cucumber, and bell peppers for dipping.
