This hummus was so easy and quick to make, I have no idea why I waited this long to make my own.
Ingredients:
1 16 oz can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) – drained
1/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice + a little extra (bottled or fresh, although fresh is yummier in my opinion)
2 cloves garlic – crushed or diced
1 tsp salt or to taste
water (I use roughly 1/3 cup)
olive oil
paprika
Directions:
In a food processor, blend the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt and water (the amount of water you add depends on the consistency you like your hummus to be. Less, for chunkier, more of smoother. Using just under 1/3 cup gives you a really creamy texture) until the mixture is well blended. Scoop the hummus into a dish and garnish with paprika, drizzled olive oil and a bit more lemon juice/pulp. Voila!
Raf said this is better than any store bought hummus he has had. Success!
