Ingredients
- Here is what you will need to make this hummus recipe.
- Garlic- 2 cloves minced or chopped small.
- Garbanzo Beans– 1 15-18 ounce can.
- Lemon Juice– 4 tablespoons. Can use a freshly juiced lemon instead.
- Tahini- ¼ cup.You can find my recipe for homemade tahini here or you can buy your own tahini online here.
- Olive Oil extra virgin preferred– 2 tablespoons.
- Water- ¼ cup. It is popular idea to drain the garbanzo beans and reserve ¼ cup of the liquid here.
- Seasonings to taste- while you could use salt or pepper I like to use different kinds of seasonings such as these (cumin and paprika are popular choices).- one to 2 teaspoons is usually enough.
- Optional- chopped garlic or red peppers for topping- 1-2 tablespoon as desired.
Instructions
- Add everything except for the water, seasoning, and the topping to the blender or food processor.
- Blend or process until almost smooth. Then add the water add seasonings to taste and blend or process until smooth.
- Top with any optional ingredients.
- Store this in the refrigerator covered. One of my favorite ways to eat hummus is to spread it on the bread or wrap that I will be filling with some great cheeses and vegetables to make a sandwich. However, you could also dip My Easy Salted Chickpea Chips into your hummus for a great tasting and healthy snack!
