When using canned chickpeas, be sure to rinse and drain them well to remove excess salt and liquid. They must also be peeled to eliminate unwanted texture in the hummus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong> &#8211; Use peeled garlic cloves for a delicious depth of flavor. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lemon juice<\/strong> &#8211; Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds flavor, tanginess, and helps the hummus blend smoothly. Only use bottled lemon juice if you have to. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt <\/strong>&#8211; This will enhance the flavors of the hummus and you can easily adjust it according to your preference. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tahini<\/strong> &#8211; Use a high-quality tahini as it'll provide a rich, nutty flavor and a smooth, creamy texture that is needed for the perfect consistency. Be sure to stir your fresh tahini before adding it to the food processor. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ground cumin<\/strong> &#8211; For a rich, warm, and spicy kick to the creamy hummus.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Olive oil<\/strong> &#8211; Used to make the creamy hummus as well as for drizzling over the hummus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh toppings<\/strong> &#8211; I've topped this Mediterranean hummus with halved cherry tomatoes, quartered cucumbers, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, fresh chopped parsley, thinly sliced parsley, thinly sliced red onion, dry oregano, sea salt, ground paprika, and olive oil. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">COOKED CHICKPEAS VS CANNED: WHAT'S BEST?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Canned Chickpeas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I don't have to convince you that canned chickpeas offer great convenience when making any type of hummus. Apart from peeling them, all you need to do is rinse and drain them well before adding them to the food processor along with the rest of the Mediterranean hummus ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooked Chickpeas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you'd like to experiment by using dried chickpeas for this recipe, I highly recommend that you soak them in a bowl of water overnight (8-12 hours) with a bit of baking soda which will break down the skins for easy removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once soaked, rinse and drain your chickpeas and remove any remaining skin left. Bring a pot of water (enough to cover the chickpeas) to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 45-90 minutes until they are very soft. Drain the chickpeas and add them to the food processor along with the other hummus ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An alternative method for cooking dried chickpeas is using your Instant Pot! With this method, you can skip the soaking step and add the dried chickpeas along with water (about 4 cups of water for every cup of dried chickpeas) and 1\/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Cook on HIGH for 35-40 minutes and then use a natural release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mediterranean-Hummus-inprocess-photos.jpg\" alt=\"In-process recipe images to make Mediterranean hummus.\" class=\"wp-image-97195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mediterranean-Hummus-inprocess-photos.jpg 800w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mediterranean-Hummus-inprocess-photos-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mediterranean-Hummus-inprocess-photos-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mediterranean-Hummus-inprocess-photos-150x188.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-kb-palette-10-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Refrigeration:<\/strong> Store the hummus and fresh toppings in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freezer:<\/strong> Remove any fresh toppings from the hummus and store the leftover Mediterranean hummus in an airtight container or sealable freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
