Easy Homemade 5 minutes Hummus

Creamy hummus served in a classic brown dish, surrounded by Lebanese bread.

This is the best easy homemade 5 minutes hummus recipe you’ll ever make. I made the original Palestinian hummus without adding any weird additional ingredients, just my old grandmother’s recipe. I love to serve my hummus beside falafel and French fries, or fill it in a pita sandwich.

The secret of a great hummus is adding enough liquidity and an ice cube, which gives the hummus a smooth and white lovely color. If your hummus mixture is still thick, add more water.

I use a ready-to-use hummus in my Easy Homemade 5 minutes Hummus recipe, but if you wish, you can make a homemade chickpeas poached. Just remember to soak the chickpeas overnight or for at least 6 hours before boiling them for 40 minutes. But if you use canned chickpeas, be sure to wash them with water a couple of times to get rid of preservatives.

What is tahini sauce?
Tahini sauce is a creamy liqued sauce made from sesame paste mixed with vegetable oil. Also, you can add it to your salad as a dressing it would be so delicious.

Serving Suggestions!

  • Serve hummus with pita bread, fresh vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers), grilled meats, or as a spread in wraps.

Toppings & Variations

  • Drizzle with olive oil, paprika, cumin or sumac.

  • Add toppings like pine nuts, caramelized onions, roasted garlic, or fresh herbs (parsley, mint).

Storage & Meal Prep

  • How long the hummus lasts in the fridge? (If adding garlic about 4 days in an airtight container, if not it will last for a week).

  • The hummus also can be frozen for up to 1 month.

What is the hummus Nutritional Benefits?

  • The ummus is High in plant-based protein, fiber, and healthy fats.

  • The hummus is great for vegetarians and vegans.
