Creamy Garlic Hummus
Hummus has always been a Go-TO SNACK in my house so it only made sense to share this one with you all. This is a great BASE RECIPE for adding in different FLAVORS AND TOPPINGS! I typically serve my hummus in a plate or shallow bowl with a drizzle of a bit more olive oil and some red chili flakes. My favorite blender add-ins are sun dried tomatoes, the ones packed in oil are the most flavorful, or you can add in 1/2 teaspoon of zatar for more middle eastern flavor.
PREP TIME: 5 minutes l COOK TIME: 0 minutes l TOTAL TIME: 5 minutes
Ingredients
1 can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup of tahini
2 big cloves of freshly peeled garlic (smashed or chopped)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, add more to your taste if needed
Directions
Serving size: 2-3 people
Blend together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and cumin in a food processor until smooth; this should take about 15 seconds.
Once the mixture blended and smooth, add in the chick peas and process until desired texture. I personally love my hummus super smooth over chunky so I tend to blend it a few minutes longer.
*If you feel like you have chunks stuck on the side of the food processor, push them down with a spatula and run the processor again for a few additional seconds.
