Follow The Directions

01

Step

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, gochujang, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Pulse until coarsely blended. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure all ingredients are incorporated. (1 minute)

03

Step

With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the reserved chickpea liquid, one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency – smooth and creamy. (3-5 minutes)

For the best flavor, prepare the hummus a day in advance to allow the gochujang to fully meld with the other ingredients.
Adjust the amount of gochujang to suit your personal spice preference. Start with 1 tablespoon for a milder flavor and increase to 2 tablespoons or more for a bolder kick.
Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a flavorful spread for sandwiches and wraps.
