Discover the only hummus recipe you'll ever need! This video will guide you through making easy, 5-minute hummus with a perfect, smooth texture. Simple ingredients and quick steps lead to a delicious result, ideal for snacking or as a versatile side. Perfect for beginners and seasoned cooks alike, this recipe guarantees homemade hummus that outshines store-bought versions every time. Get ready to enjoy the creamiest hummus with minimal effort!
1 pack boiled chickpeas (400 g)
1 garlic clove
½ lemon juice
3 ice cubes
3 tablespoons tahini
½ teaspoon salt
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Topping:
1 pinch of cumin
1 pinch of sumac
2-3 sprigs parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
- For a perfectly smooth hummus first you need to peel the chickpeas. Add 400 gr canned chickpeas in a large bowl and rub to take the skin of. Fill the bowl with water and the skins will start to float. When you drain, skins will group on water and it will be much easier to collect. (Skip this step if you really need to do the recipe in 5 minutes)
- Add chickpeas, garlic, salt, tahini and olive oil to the food processor.
- Squeeze lemon juice and run for at a low-medium speed.
- While the food processor is working the hummus will get warm. To avoid that add ice gradually. Ice will help to make a smooth hummus as well.
- After a couple of minutes the hummus will be okay but not smooth enough. Don’t give up and continue until the hummus is creamy. You can run at high speed at this stage.
- Taste and adjust the lemon, tahini and salt to your taste. Garlic and olive oil always need time to settle. If you have 2-3 hours before eating, the taste will be better.
- When the hummus is ready, put it on the serving table and make a little crater with the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle ground sumac, cumin and parsley leaves. Last but not least, pour 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
- Enjoy your creamy, tasty, simple hummus with your lavash or chips as your spoon!

[@Metabookseller]

I love your cooking but I don't like this format. The rush rush rush adds a stressful feeling and life is already stressful enough. But I do appreciate very much your cooking instructions and dishes.

[@gokhanimer1841]

But I think that the main purpose here is to show how easy it is rather than how time efficient it is to do this

[@cinders302]

I agree, but here's a scenario: someone was to be at a potluck gathering and was running late. This would show the timeline capability if required Or...use it as part of a cardio workout 😄

[@sandyrice3559]

I agree with you on the rushed format. But in Refika's defense, the title of the video is "Hummus in 5 minutes", so, in all actuality, she was in a race against the clock to show that it could be done in 5 minutes. If I were to follow along with her making this, I would definitely slow down the playback speed.

[@Pinacoladamiaa]

Totally agree! Make it in 10 minutes instead of 5. Would be more pleasant to watch.

[@swingbelly]

I agree. Not a "smooth" presentation. But, still love her cooking.

[@SB0369]

I will watch anything you post; but my favourite ones are where you talk to us, sharing your stories about a recipe and interacting with your awesome crew. I don't think many of us who love to cook are looking forward for recipes where we will be running against time.

[@54Mello]

🤣🤣🤣🤣. Rafika a 7 minute hummus would be ok too…and less stressful for you! 🌹

[@trishhibberd22]

She does have a longer version of this in her archives…and it still is the best homemade traditional hummus I’ve ever tried! 😊

[@brightantwerp]

Great recipe, thank you! I don't mind if you take 10 minutes to make it in a relaxed way.

[@redgroom]

anothe five minutes would have seen you turning a half dozen of the store bought flatbread in a skillet with a little spray of olive oil...you cook like someone who actually feeds people with love...Teşekkür ederim !

[@crannitigs5595]

Rafika. Plz continue with your previous format of taping. Rushing to do recipes in few minutes spins you out of control. Its stressful to watch you struggle. No need for extra stress in these times. If you enjoy we will also enjoy watching you. Take your time, PLEASE!!

[@Blue.1887]

I very appreciate your channel and your philosophy and passion for food. But I do prefer your slow cooking format instead of that rush.

[@anthonykwietniewski5043]

I prefer taking your time and doing it at a relaxed pace. It makes for a more enjoyable episode.

[@danadomino]

Your hummus recipe from 3 years ago is ALWAYS my go to when I make hummus in the house, which is about once a month. Been making it since that video first came out! ❤

[@kellietrudel8222]

Agree! It’s the recipe I use too!

[@danadomino]

@@kellietrudel8222 Its so delicious and I like the whipped texture I get from the recipe. Not too heavy!

[@amna6024]

you can never have too much garlic 🥰

[@leecrespi5162]

We make this a lot at my house and my son loves to add smoked paprika. It gives it a very different and delicious flavor as well. I personally adore sumac!

[@juliehillebrand8923]

Lots of love to you and your team, Refika! I've been making hummus for years, when I started removing the skins from the chickpeas and dropping one or two pieces of ice in as it blended absolutely changed my life.

[@icookconnect]

We love the natural, frantic energy of your video! A lot of people are intimidated to make hummus at home, but your video does such a great job of making it easy, accessible and relatable. Thank you!

[@paulacharman]

I understood the concept of this fast-paced video (showing us a recipe in real time), so I loved it. I am definitely making this tonight!

[@sharronhorsey6168]

I am British and my husband is Turkish; I always make your recipes and we love them. 🫒🍄🥦🧄🫑🌶

[@andersonomo597]

I'd rather see you do quick recipes at a normal pace and then stop the clock to get an actual, real life time. Watching you stressed out against the clock stresses me too. Love your work - you and your team are such a great credit to Turkey!! Hugs from Oz!!

[@monermccarthy7198]

Your comment is so true, I'm stressed for her just watching this. This hummus does look delicious.

[@user-ul2ck8tv2w]

I agree, please slow down. You have wonderful recipes.

[@MissBabalu102]

I like it speedy, now and then. At least we see it's possible if we hop a bit.

[@Jessejrt1]

Love the ice cube trick, have been using that since your hummus vid from years ago! Cant beat homemade hummus, so much better than the stuff they sell in stores, so much more flavor! Thank you.

[@katarinamills8530]

❤I make hummus very often but did not know the Trick with the ICE cubes. What is actually rhe point?Thank you🎉

[@shannonessig5959]

Ay, Refika! Give yourself 6 minutes. It's still a very impressive time. 😊 Thank you and your team for another delicious dish.

[@venicawood3894]

I didn't breathe at all throughout that process! Surprised I'm still alive.

[@makmobius6464]

I know there's a trend to do these kinds of time-crunching meals. Although I will watch anything you post, this format isn't my favourite. I love the way you reach out to us as if we are right there in the kitchen ... or wherever you are recording ... with you. I love how you interact with your team. I am inspired by your joy, your social justice activism, your caring, and your passion for everything. In videos where someone is competing with time, I feel tense and worried. There's enough stress in life. Is the goal is to show how easy it can be to eat good and flavourful food? I think that can be accomplished with the way you have fun with cooking. When you have fun cooking, I imagine myself having fun cooking. When I see you stressed out because of time, I imagine being stressed out because of time. I LOVE cooking. It is my hobby and passion. It is how I de-stress from the day. I think that's why I was so drawn to you and your team. I feel a kindredness and it makes my heart happy. I love watching your joy.

[@johnmoody2365]

Nice!!... and Hooray for Refika!!!! She used a proper juicer!!!

[@Jane-hp1qz]

It is a staple in my house. Your recipe is just what I like. Fast!

[@adityabelapurkar8386]

Always love to watch you explain things and showcase great recipes. One of the good things about your videos is peacefulness and enjoyment in cooking. This new fast format takes that away.

[@2w2dddd]

Great job as always chief. I freeze the water from chickpeas and use it through the blending process. 👍👏👏👏

[@rochelles.8387]

I didn't realize how much I miss hummus until I watched this video! I'll be making some today. Thanks Refika and team for another wonderful video. Fast or slow paced, all your videos are great. I've told so many people about your channel!

[@pianolakestudio76]

Thank you for all your lovely videos. Some of us still remember our grandmothers who immigrated here (Ellis Island) to the US and their European cost saving cooking methods. You take me back to remember her delicious meals and methods. I especially appreciate your thrift to demonstrate how we can all eat well even in spare times. Blessings!

[@carolmacdonnell7692]

I appreciate this 5 minute rush job - shows that it can be done! Thanks!

[@kaanbalci]

Refika, people use aquafaba instead of ice cubes and the taste doesn't dilute. I prefer starting the processor with the garlic first. So that they can be chopped beforehand. I love using canned/jarred chickpeas, too. This real-time video set up is purely perfect. I feel excited, anxious, stomachache in real time and all the mind slips, all the dilemmas you live instantenously - wouldn't change a bit. Thank you guys there for taking the cooking joy seriously and investing in it, working your backs off for it and always improving... I'm a big fan since day 1. [P.S. I'm heartbroken because Refikadan gave up investing in enamelware. They were your legacy.] ❤

[@thesinstreamstreams9465]

YOU READ MY MIND!!! I was looking up your hummus recipe because I'm serving it at my sons 33rd bday party!!! You're like a little angel that always knows what we need and when. Thank you Refika!!! XOXOXO

[@Refika]

Happy birthday 🎂🥰

[@MartinAhlman]

Swedish as hell, but I love hummus! Goes so well with a cup of tea and some bread. It's a staple food in our house! So tasty, and good for you as well.

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

So happy to see someone else remove the chickpea skins. Though it takes me at least 5-10 minutes to do that step. I like to remove each and every skin. Personal preference. And just a comment…you don’t need to run and rush around. If I had to cook like that I would be stressed out and anxious. 😊

[@tisalucchesi9910]

Thank you for your amazing videos! I am Italian American and for me, the best moments are those when we can enjoy the love around us and slow down enough to feel gratitude. This fast video may be very inspiring to some, but I would love to see a video where you and 1-2 others in your crew work together in the kitchen to set up a meal together without rushing.

[@noha1975]

The best part about the video is that it is quick

[@dkorsey]

Love, love, love hummus!! I am so excited we will visit Istanbul in October and can’t wait to eat some of the fabulous local food!

[@monermccarthy7198]

I love the ice cube technique. That hummus looks devine

[@ramonajordan3875]

This was the first recipe I made after I began watching your channel. It's delicious!

[@MalteseKat]

6:51 There was a time I couldn't find tahini. I used to throw in several tablespoons of sesame seeds. So that's when I needed a good processor, but I only had a blender. I never bought a food processor but I learned about the ice and that made my hummus restaurant quality. Thanks to you Refika!❤

[@cristibaluta]

What is the ice doing, how it will look without, isn't it just water?

[@TinaHani-qh4lp]

​Search it or just try the tip idk exactly why but she says it's better than water .. ​@@cristibaluta

[@TinaHani-qh4lp]

​@@cristibalutai asked my brother for u & he said to cool it down so u don't eat it warm & so the color doesn't get too yellow 🫡🤓😎😃

[@topraksemstezcan1938]

@@cristibaluta The rotation of the blades creates heat and spoils the taste of the hummus. Additionally, since the ice breaks into pieces and bounces off, it also ensures that the hummus is mixed homogeneously and of course dilutes it a little.

[@ChristiaanDwiid]

This is such a beautiful thing that I love. Awesome hummas and some lovely people to share with

[@flemingdh]

What a great full-energy video to start my day! Thank you for all the information too!

Loved this!!! I have everything but sumac, so I’m going to go make some. Thank you. 🙏 Blessings. ♥️🌻

I loved every split second of this video. Sometimes we have to hurry and knowing it can be done is very useful. I also enjoyed your previous recipe of hummus! It’s my go-to!

[@grandulasperty1812]

This format is fun! I'll definitely try it 100% of the supermarket ready everything is a disaster, I have to make it all from scratch, but never tried hummus yet (I have to find a recipe for tahini) Thanks!

Please try and let me know how it turns out :) you can find homemade tahini recipe in the channel ✌️kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3XZpnV9nch8kJosi=HzFdTfdKuXlFwxEI

[@carlstevenson4232]

Linda here…excellent video, as always. I don’t have ice on our sailboat, plus I rinse/soak/rinse dried chickpeas to save the weight of pre-cooked beans and remove some starch. And I make tahini from scratch. Love your videos and was just thinking I need to make some hummus when I saw this video. As always, perfect timing. Thank you and your team for all your hard work, showing how easy cooking at home can be. 😘
