How to Fix Bitter-Tasting Hummus (6 Steps)

Fixing the taste of bitter homemade hummus is as simple as finding the proper balance between flavors. Keep extra ingredients on hand when creating a batch and plan on using slightly less of the called-for ingredients -- tahini, garlic and lemon or olive oil. Tasting the hummus as you go will help you find a flavor profile that works well for you. Experiment with different brands of tahini until you find a favorite.

Things You'll Need

  • Food processor
  • Lemons
  • Water
  • Tahini
  • Garlic
  • Garbanzo beans
  • Salt
  • Paprika
  • Olive oil
  • Sugar

Instructions

  1. Assemble your food processor and add the prepared hummus.

  2. Add 1/2 cup of cooked garbanzo beans and process on high until thoroughly blended.

  3. Taste the hummus. If it's still too bitter, add an additional 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, 1 teaspoon each of sugar and salt, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water. Process on high until blended.

  4. Adjust the ingredients until you find the flavor profile that fits your tastes.

  5. Transfer the hummus to a serving plate.

  6. Create a bowl in the center of the hummus and drizzle on first-press olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika. Chill or serve immediately.
