Spectacular Basic Hummus Recipe

	Muffinmadame / All my dishes 1 year, 7 months ago This is a great snack with veggies, tortilla chips, pita chips, or crackers, and is also great on a sandwich! I eat hummus almost every day and experiment with adding different flavors to it. This basic recipe is still my favorite. I love the flavor of the garlic and lemon together....

Ingredients

1 can garbanzo beans, drained (reserve 1 or 2 T of liquid)

2 T tahini paste

1 large or 2 small cloves of garlic

1/2 t. cayenne pepper

Juice of 1 lemon

salt and pepper to taste

3 T. olive oil, plus a bit more for drizzling on top.

Directions

Puree all ingredients in a food processor.

Add reserved liquid to make hummus your desired consistency. I love mine thick and creamy, similar to a peanut butter consistency.

Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to let flavors meld.

To add some extra zip to this, add one of the following: roasted red pepper, marinated artichokes, kalamata olives, etc.

This looks great! I've been looking for a hummas recipe. I know a few people that have never tryed hummas, I know that sounds nuts but I wanted to make some homemade hummas to have them try. This recipe looks good and I think I'll us it to try on my friends and family.

This looks so good! I'm going to forever quit buying it in the store. I have 3 cans of garbanzo beans in my pantry waiting to make this. This is a much better recipe than the one I was going to use.
Thanks for sharing!
