Directions

  1. Place garbanzo beans into a large container and cover with at least 2 inches of cool water, let stand at least 12 hours.

  2. Drain garbanzo beans and transfer to a large pot, add enough water to cover beans by at least 2 inches. Bring water to a rolling boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until beans are very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove pot from heat and cool water and beans to room temperature, drain and transfer beans to a glass container and cover. Refrigerate beans, 8 hours to overnight.

  3. Combine beans, tahini, olive oil, salt, citric acid powder, garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper in a food processor, add 1/2 cup water. Process mixture for 1 minute. Check consistency of hummus and add 1/4 cup water if hummus is too thick, process again until smooth.

  4. Continue processing hummus in the food processor until hummus is warm, about 15 minutes more.

Recipe Note

This is a solid hummus with a mild but complex taste and is a good base for making flavored hummus as well.
