Today I had a hummus craving and didn't have any store-bought...but I did have a can of chickpeas and a tub of tahini! This recipe is ridiculously easy and has me wondering why I haven't made hummus before?!
HUMMUS ~ PURE & SIMPLE!
Ingredients:
1 can of chickpeas, drained, reserving 1/2 of the liquid
1 clove of garlic
2 tbsp tahini (sesame seed paste)
4 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
Black pepper, to taste
- In a food processor or mini processor, puree garlic and chickpeas. Add the tahini, lemon juice, reserved liquid, salt and pepper.
- Process until smooth
*Top with a sprinkle of paprika, lemon pepper, chipotle pepper, drizzled with olive oil, caramelized onions and garlic, jalapenos, toasted and chopped pumpkin seeds....the possibilities are endless!
Another suggestion - if you want to make this recipe a little lighter (or if you aren't a fan of tahini) is to use yogurt to replace the tahini. *You would use a bit more yogurt than you would tahini, and just blend until it looks to be a good consistency.
