- ½ cup Tahini
- 2 Garlic Cloves, roughly chopped
- 1 Lemon, juiced
Dill Pickle Flavor
- ½ cup Chopped Dill Pickles
- ¼ cup Dill Pickle Juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill
Seasoning
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Chick Peas: Drain the chick peas thoroughly and transfer them to the bowl of a food processor to create the hummus base.
- Add Ingredients: Add the tahini, chopped dill pickles, dill pickle juice, lemon juice, garlic cloves, and fresh dill to the food processor bowl with the chick peas.
- Blend: Turn the food processor on high speed and blend the mixture for about 1 minute until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste and blend briefly again.
- Chill: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken slightly before serving.
Notes
- For an ultra-smooth texture, peel the skins off the chick peas before blending.
- Chilling the hummus for at least an hour enhances the flavor profile.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
