This isn’t that sad, beige hummus that tastes like “meh.” This is hummus that shows up seasoned, confident, and slightly intimidating. Creamy chickpeas. Garlic. Lemon. Olive oil. And Smoking Embers Steak & Egg Seasoning bringing smoky, savory attitude. One bite and store-bought hummus starts feeling real insecure.

Ingredients

1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
¼ cup tahini
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
1–1½ tbsp Flavor Expedition Co. Smoking Embers Steak & Egg Seasoning
½ tsp ground cumin (optional, for extra depth)
2–4 tbsp cold water (for smoothness)
Smoked paprika or parsley (optional garnish)

For Serving:

Pita chips
Veggie sticks
Warm naan
Straight off the spoon (no shame)

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Load the Flavor Machine

Add to your food processor:

Chickpeas
Lemon juice
Tahini
Garlic
Olive oil
Smoking Embers
Cumin (if using)

Lock the lid. Prepare for greatness.

2. Blend It Smooth

Blend for 60–90 seconds until thick and creamy.

Scrape down sides. Blend again.
We’re going for “luxury hummus,” not “grainy regret.”

3. Adjust the Texture

With processor running, slowly add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time.

Stop when:

  • It’s silky

  • It’s spreadable

  • It makes you say “oh damn”

4. Taste & Tweak

Taste test (mandatory).

Need more smoke? Add more Smoking Embers.
More brightness? Add lemon.
More richness? Add olive oil.

You’re in charge here.

5. Plate Like a Pro

Spoon into a shallow bowl.

Create a swirl with the back of a spoon.
Drizzle olive oil.
Sprinkle garnish.
Flex quietly.

  • Spicy Version: Add chili flakes or cayenne.
  • Protein Boost: Blend in Greek yogurt.
  • Roasted Garlic Upgrade: Swap raw garlic for roasted for sweeter flavor.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Keeps 4–5 days refrigerated in airtight container.
