Description

Easy recipe for hummus made with dried chickpeas in your slow cooker.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup dried chickpeas (I find these in the bulk section of my grocery store)
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 minced garlic clove

Instructions

  1. Add the chickpeas, water and salt to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, or until chickpeas are very soft.
  2. Set a colander on top of a bowl. Drain the liquid from the chickpeas into the bowl. Reserve this liquid for later. 
  3. In a blender or food processor add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and 1/4 cup of reserved liquid. Add in the chickpeas last. This will help it to blend easier. Blend until creamy. Add in more reserved liquid as needed. Season to taste.
  4. Store hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

    Will be making soon – but how much does it make? It says 10 servings, but how big is a serving? I have a small slow cooker (1.5 litres) so need to adapt the recipe accordingly

    Simple, easy, perfect, and enduring. A friend’s gorgeous young son brought this to a huge family gathering. I could have embarrassed myself and eaten the whole big bowl (but I asked for the recipe instead).
    As for adding other tastes, please, (recommendation) do that after and not during the cooking process.

    Hello!
    Do you soak the chick peas over night too? Other recipes soak overnight and cook in crock pot so I’m just wondering if it works to put the dried chickpeas straight in the slow cooker.
    Thanks for your help!

      I’ve done both ways

    This is so easy and makes a beautiful hummus, I’ll never buy shop bought again. I followed the recipe exactly and didn’t add tahini or any other item and it was absolutely lovely. I made a double amount and have frozen the majority in small plastic tubs. After defrosting a tub overnight in the fridge I can report it did not change texture or flavour and was still very nice. I’ll do this again and have already recommended the recipe to a colleague.

    I was just going to add that you can make your own tahini, but Deb beat me to it! Just put a batch of chick peas in the slow cooker. I'll be making a roasted red pepper hummus with mine. I love that this allows me to control the amount of garlic in the recipe, as my hubby always complains that I have garlic breath from eating hummus!

      Maybe it is garlic powder that creates the garlic breath… I have never found that fresh garlic creates offensive breath. I told my boys when they were young teenagers not to put garlic powder on pizza (when out, I never kept it on hand) if they didn’t want to have bad garlic breath! If someone gets garlic breath from this recipe, be sure you mince the garlic clove.

    I make my own tahini — raw sesame seeds in the food processor for about 5 minutes. Don't add anything, they will make their own oil. They stay longer and taste better than the tahini you buy in the store.

    This is a great basic recipe, but i prefer a little extra flavor, whether store bought or homemade, too. My favorite by far is to throw in a handful of roasted red peppers, but your idea of artichoke sound yummy too!

    Tahini goes rancid pretty quickly, so you have to be careful or it will ruin your hummus. I take a taste of it plain and if I say to myself "yuck" I toss it.

    Stacy, I did like it but I don't think I would make this exact recipe next time. I would like to add in something with it like sundried tomatoes or artichokes. Try it and see what you think, let me know.

    I eat hummus very often. I love the idea of saving $ by making it myself but is the taste difference worth it? With a rating of 3 1/2 *'s I'm not sure. I would love to know more about what you think. Thanks!

    Jenn, it's kind of like sesame seed butter. A paste made out of sesame seeds. I found it in the bulk section kind of by organic stuff.

    What is tahini, and where exactly might I find it in the grocery store?

    Do you know if it can be frozen? I would love to try it but I don't think we would use that much at once.

      Alayna, I always freeze my humus but there is a trick: if you use a plastic (tupperware) container it changes the texture. I prefer to freeze mine in glass containers (I'm the "crazy pyrex-lady" anyway). Leave it overnight in the fridge to defrost it – again, if you try any other way, it will change its original texture.
