Hummus got so popular here in the last couple years, and for good reason. It's healthy, cheap and yummy. And so easy to do at home. Just do me one favor and don't use those canned chickpeas, home cooked are so much better ( and so easy to do in the slowcooker ). Read more I've got this recipe from a lebanese friend, whose mother is making it this way forever. See less

How to make it
- Put all ingredients for the chickpeas in a slow cooker, cook on low for 6-8 hours ( I do it overnight ).Add salt to your liking, let cool in broth, then strain. Reserve the broth and discard onion and carrots.
- Drop garlic onto running steel blade in Cuisinart, than stop the machine and add chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, broth, cumin and oil. Process until very smooth, evtl. add some more oil or broth. Adjust seasonings, put in serving bowl, sprinkle with some paprika and drizzle olive oil over the top. Serve with crackers, pita bread or veggie sticks.
