The trick to truly smooth hummus is blending it longer than feels reasonable, with ice water to keep it fluffy. Pile it high, make a well of olive oil, and surround it with crunch. Note: this one contains tahini (sesame).

8 servings or type

2 cans Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

⅓ cup Tahini (sesame paste), well stirred

¼ cup Fresh lemon juice

1 Garlic clove

¼ cup Ice water

2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving

¾ teaspoon Kosher salt

¼ teaspoon Ground cumin

to taste Carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, radishes, cut for dipping

Steps

Blend the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cumin 1 minute. With the motor running, drizzle in the ice water and blend 4 minutes more, until completely smooth and fluffy.
Spoon into a wide bowl, swirl a well in the center, and fill it with olive oil.
Surround with the cut vegetables and serve. Makes about 2 cups.

Tip: Rub the chickpea skins off between two towels if you have the patience. It is the difference between good hummus and great hummus.
