Quick & Easy Lemon and Parsley Hummus

My Quick & Easy Lemon and Parsley Hummus is creamy, zesty, and vibrant hummus giving it a refreshing twist on the classic dip. It’s perfect for dipping, spreading on toast, or adding to wraps for a quick and healthy snack. Save buying it from the shops and make your own for a fraction of the price. 

Ingredients

  • 1 tin (400g) chickpeas, drained
  • 25g fresh parsley
  • 25g fresh coriander
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp tahini
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Biff's Tips

  • Add an ice cube. Drop 1 ice cube into the processor for an extra creamy texture.
  • Load it up. Top with pickled onions, chermoula sauce or dukkah to really impress yourself.

Let's Dive In!

Step 1: Blend

Put 400g tin chickpeas, drained, 25g fresh parsley, 25g fresh coriander, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tsp ground cumin and ½ tsp salt in a food processor. Pulse for a few seconds to break it all down.

Add 1 tsp tahini, 4 tbsp olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon, then blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides now and then. Taste and add more lemon juice or salt if needed.

Step 2: Serve & store

Spoon into a bowl, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and scatter over chopped parsley or coriander. Serve with warm pitta, veg sticks or as a spread. It keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Hummus FAQs

  • How do I make hummus smoother? Blend for longer and add the ice cube. Peeling the chickpeas makes it silkier still.
  • Can I make it without tahini? Yes. Swap it for a spoon of Greek yoghurt or a little extra olive oil.
  • Is this hummus vegan? Yes, it's vegan and gluten-free.

Pile it into my homemade flatbreads with a few pinkled onions, or try my Avo-No-Cado dip.

BIFF, BOSH, NOSH!
