Hummus
Hummus
Ingredients
1/3 cup tahini
1/8 cup lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed (optional, I love it)
1/2 tsp salt
15 oz can chickpeas, skins removed (although time consuming and not required, this makes it MUCH creamier)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp water
Directions
1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, remove the skins if you can (I do this by gently pinching the skin off).
2. In a food processor, blend the tahini and lemon juice until frothy.
3. Blend in the garlic and salt.
4. Blend in the chickpeas, a handful at a time.
5. Blend in the olive oil.
6. Blend in the water.
7. Remove hummus from the food processor and drizzle top with olive oil (or decorate some other way- I sometimes use roasted pine nuts, whole chick peas, paprika, parsley, etc.). Store in refrigerator until ready to eat.
