Used Canned Chickpeas or Cook Yours from Scratch

This recipe calls for  chickpeas and some of the cooking/canning liquid too. I’d recommend a no-salt-added variety to keep the overall sodium content down, so you can control how much sodium is in the dish. Canned chickpeas blend great, so if you are using canned, just watch the sodium or added salt content.

I prefer making my chickpeas from scratch in my Instant Pot. I save the cooking liquid to add to the hummus. I make dried beans in my Instant Pot every week, it’s a great way to save on cost. If you’re a bean fan, then I’d recommend an Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker as a way to take your recipes to the next level!

• Low or No Salt Chickpeas: one of my favorite pantry staple ingredients! You can use canned chickpeas (I’d highly recommend a low sodium or no salt version), or you can make no soak dried chickpeas in the Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
• Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet! Aside from all the wonderful health benefits of turmeric (hello anti-inflammation!), the flavor is fantastic. I try to add a teaspoon of turmeric into soups, stews, and rice dishes too.
• Tahini: A fantastic and flavorful spread made from ground sesame seeds. This tahini is fantastic in any dish, it absolutely makes the hummus shine!
• Garlic
• Lemon Juice: Use fresh lemons if you have it, or this really great bottled lemon that you can keep in your pantry if you don’t have fresh lemons. This organic lemon is great for dressings, dips, and even cocktails – and it tastes fresh, which is great to have around if you don’t use lemon juice everyday but still want to keep some around.
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s inexpensive & I like to keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry.  For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value.
• Black Pepper – not only for a great flavor, black pepper can help your body absorb the curcumin in the turmeric better!

How Do I Make This Turmeric Hummus Recipe?

1. In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, garlic, tahini, turmeric, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
2. Seal lid, and start processing with the food processor. If your lid has an attachment you can remove to add ingredients, remove that piece, and slowly pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil at a time until the consistency is creamy and whipped. I used just 1 tablespoon for mine to get to the perfect texture I like, but feel free to use more to suit your taste.
3. Pour hummus into a serving dish, and top with additional olive oil, black pepper, or chili flakes for a bit of heat.
4. Refrigerate in an air-tight container for up to 5 days, and enjoy!

What’s the Best Food Processor for Hummus?

We have this fantastic food processor that has lasted us years and years, and I have to say I’ve been very happy with it! It gets weekly use, and is great for chopping ingredients for sauces, making hummus, and pureeing vegetables.  It’s really basic and gets the job done!  While you can make this hummus in a blender, I prefer using our food processor to get the texture just right.
