If you want to make your own hummus, here is a recipe:
Ingredients:
1 15-ounce can (425 grams) chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice, about 1 large lemon
1/4 cup (60 g) tahini
Large garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil, plus more for serving
Dash of sea salt, to taste
Dash of ground cumin (about 1/2 teaspoon/3.5 g)
2 – 3 tbsp (30 ml) water
Dash of ground paprika, for serving
Directions:
1.In your food processor or blander, blend tahini and lemon juice for 1 minute.
2.Add olive oil, minced garlic, cumin and salt and blend for another minute.
3.Add canned/soaked chickpeas and process until thick and smooth. (You may have to add additional 2-3 Tbsp. water until desired consistency
4.Serve with carrots, cucumber or whole grain pita.
Servings: 8
Note: Garbanzo beans probably have gone up due to the popularity of hummus.
Tahini is WAY expensive (i'm seeing 45 to 80 bucks.)
