Most people I know love hummus. In fact, it was even featured on
Stuff White People Like, because apparently all white people like hummus. I, for one, am a white person who loves hummus. Go figure. I also know that most people do not make their own hummus, they buy it already made in the grocery store. I seriously don't know why everyone does this because making your own hummus is so easy and a lot more economical. I make hummus all the time and I haven't posted it before because hummus recipes are a dime a dozen and mine isn't original at all. But I thought maybe people who are out there wasting their hard earned money on hummus never thought to look up the recipe for it so maybe by posting this I will inspire them to go ahead and make it themselves. So here is my hummus recipe for all you hummus lovers out there.
Ingredients
- Juice of 1 lemon (I like it really lemony, but you may want to use a bit less if your not such a citrus fan)
- 1 can of chick peas aka garbanzo beans
- 1 1/2 tbsp tahini
- 2 cloves garlic (pressed)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for garnish if you're so inclined)
- A pinch of paprika (optional)
- 3 tbsp water
All you have to do is throw everything into a food processor and hit the go button until its the right consistency. I'd say that looks about right. If you like it thicker, add less water. If its too thick, add more water. Simple.
Scoop it out and put it in a bowl. Sprinkle with extra paprika and a bit of olive oil, for presentation of course!
Wasn't that easy? Serve it with some warm pita bread, or if you're feeling super healthy opt for carrots. Delicious!
