- Tahini is a traditional ingredient in hummus, but this recipe offers a tahini-free alternative. Adjust the flavors and consistency according to your preference by adding more or less garlic, lemon juice, or olive oil.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can peel the chickpeas before blending. Simply pinch each chickpea between your fingers to remove the outer skin before adding them to the food processor.
