- - to make
- Serves 6
Most hummus taste strongly of garlic or lemon or.. I like to taste the chickpeas so I have to make my own. = )
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups of canned chickpeas shopping list
- 1/3 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice shopping list
- 1/4 cup of tahini shopping list
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed shopping list
- 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper shopping list
- pinch of freshly ground black pepper shopping list
- 1 teaspoon of salt shopping list
- 1/3 cup of water shopping list
- parsley and olive oil to garnish shopping list
How to make it
- Put 1/2 the lemon juice and all ingredients into the blender except the chickpeas (and the parsley and oil for garnish) and blend for 5 seconds. Add the chick peas and blend on high until it reaches the the consistency of sour cream, but granular, about 10-15 seconds.
- Blend in remaining lemon juice to taste. If the dip is too thick but you don't want to add more lemon juice, add a little water slowly and blend until it reaches the correct consistency. Pour into a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate for a few hours before serving. (It can be eaten immediately but tastes better as it sits for a while. = )

This sounds great, I just recently got into trying Hummus and loved it. Question where do I find tahini? You got my high five on this one.

I really like this version of hummus and I agree with making your own chick peas. It has more depth to the recipe.
