Michael Solomonov’s 5-Minute Hummus With Quick Tehina Sauce
Image by Michael Persico
Makes about 4 cups (4 servings)
For the Quick Tehina Sauce
1 garlic clove
Juice of 1 lemon
1 (16-ounce) jar tahini
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 to 1½ cups ice water
For the Hummus
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
-
Make the tehina sauce: Nick off a piece of the garlic (about a quarter of the clove) and drop it into a food processor.
-
Squeeze the lemon juice into the food processor. Pour the tehina on top, making sure to scrape it all out of the container, and add the salt and cumin.
-
Process until the mixture looks peanut-buttery, about 1 minute.

-
Stream in the ice water, a little at a time, with the motor running. Process just until the mixture is smooth and creamy and lightens to the color of dry sand. Now you have Quick Tehina Sauce!
-
Make the hummus: Add the chickpeas to the tehina sauce and process for about 3 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go, until the chickpeas are completely blended and the hummus is smooth and uniform in color.
