Homemade Hummus

Updated: Feb 3, 2022



"Hummus is easy to make mom" my 19 years old daughter said to me. But I wasn't sure I believed her.


Well, she was right, it was easy to make. All you have to do is put everything into a food processor. It only takes five minutes, and the flavor is super.


This hummus is great with Fiona's homemade pita bread!





Ingredients

  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1/2 cup tahini

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • 1 garlic clove

  • water (or can use aquafava from a can of chickpeas, if you prefer)

  • 1/4 cup leon juice

  • salt to taste


Direction

  • In a food processor, combine tahini and lemon juice and process for 1 minute, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and process for another 1 minute.

  • Add the olive oil, garlic, and salt, process 1 more minute.

  • Add half of the chickpeas, process another 1 minute, then scrape the sides and the bottom of the bowl, add the remaining chickpeas and process until smooth, about 2 minutes.

  • Add water (or aquafava if you prefer) to adjust to your preferred consistency.

  • Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, a dash of paprika, and cilantro
