INGREDIENTS

Makes about 4 cups (4 servings)

QUICK TEHINA SAUCE

• 1garlic clove

• Juice of 1 lemon

• (16 oz) jar tehina

• 1 tablespoon kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1 to 1 1/2 cups ice water

HUMMUS

• 1(15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed

INSTRUCTIONS

MAKE TEHINA SAUCE

1. Nick off a piece of the garlic (about a quarter of the clove) and drop it into a food processor.

2. 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.

3. Process until the mixture looks peanut-buttery, about 1 minute.

4. 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

1. 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.
