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. | |
