    Easy Homemade Hummus

    Hummus with Pita chips

    Found this recipe on Inspired Taste and whipped this up in no time.  So good.  So easy.  When I served it Jeff said, "You MADE this???!"  I served the dip along with pita bread triangles I had misted with olive oil and baked in the oven at 350 until toasted.

    ENJOY!

    This fresh homemade hummus is fast and easy to make.

    Ingredients

    • ½ Cup tahini
    • ¼ Cup olive oil
    • 1 Large clove garlic (chopped)
    • 3 Ounces fresh lemon juice
    • 1 Teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 Teaspoon salt
    • 2 Cans garbanzo beans/chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
    • ¼ Cup water

    Note

    I served this with pita bread that I had cut into triangles, misted with olive oil and baked in the oven at 350 until toasted.  It is a delicious and easy snack!

    Directions

    Step 1
    In food processor, mix tahini and olive oil until smooth. Add lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt. Process until incorporated.
    Step 2
    Add garbanzo beans, a little a time and process after each addition to ensure hummus is a smooth consistency.
    Step 3
    While the processor is running, add just enough water to bring the hummus to your preferred consistency.
    Step 4
    To serve, drizzle a little extra olive oil over top and sprinkle with a bit of paprika, if desired.
