Hummus
I love hummus. I eat it as a snack or a whole meal…even for breakfast sometimes! Store-bought hummus is great, but making it yourself takes less than 10 minutes and will blow your store-bought hummus out of the water! Eat it on a beautiful hummus platter like the one pictured below or add to my Greek Burger recipe!
RECIPE - Hummus, yields 6-8 servings
TIME - 8-10 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 15-oz can chickpeas/garbanzo beans
1/3 cup tahini (I used Joyva)
3/4 teaspoon salt
Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
4-6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons cold water, plus up to 2-3 more tablespoons as needed
Additional add-ins such as chili garlic paste, roasted garlic, roasted red peppers, pesto (about 1-2 tablespoons of desired add-in)
Hummus fixings such as pita chips, cucumbers, peppers, carrots
DIRECTIONS
Combine tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and cold water in a nutribullet, blender, or food processor and blend until smooth, about 30-60 seconds.
Add in chickpeas and blend until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
If making plain hummus, check consistency and add more cold water a little at a time until desired consistency.
If adding in additional toppings, add in and blend until desired consistency.
