Ingredients

For the Hummus:

  • 400 g chickpeas (1 can), drained
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 3-4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3-4 tbsp cold water
  • 1 lemon (juice of 1, or to taste)
  • 1 handful fresh spinach
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • zaatar (to taste)
  • coriander leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

Instructions:

  • Start by draining and rinsing the canned chickpeas. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can peel the skins off the chickpeas, although this step is optional.
  • In your food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, ripe avocado, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is creamy and well-combined.
  • Add the fresh spinach, ground cumin, salt, and a sprinkle of zaatar to the food processor. Blend again until the spinach is fully incorporated, and the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
  • To achieve the perfect texture, gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition. Stop when you reach a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Taste your hummus and adjust the seasonings if necessary. You can add more lemon juice for brightness or more salt to enhance the flavor.
  • Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with extra olive oil, sprinkle with zaatar, and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve with pita bread, fresh veggies, or spread it on your favorite sandwich.
