Mmmm, Hummus
We love hummus, the kids, me and even the hubs. I used to buy it every once in awhile but couldn’t justify spending that much money on those small containers. Then I remembered that in the 90s I used to make it, you know before you could just buy it everywhere. I worked on a recipe for a while to perfect it - well at least I think it’s awesome.
1 Can Chickpeas (rinsed)
4 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
4 (or more) Cloves of Garlic (crushed)
2 Tablespoons Tahini
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 Teaspoon Salt (to taste)
Pepper
1/4 Cup of Basil (chopped) (optional)
Put everything in a food processor and blend until smooth and re-season to taste.
Serve with veggies, cut pita, tortilla chips or whatever floats your boat.
Another option is to add dill instead of basil (that’s what I made this weekend and then again yesterday - so yummy)
You should really give making hummus a try, it’s easy, it’s inexpensive. It’s an easy last minute snack since you can easily stock all the ingredients. We usually have a few cans of chickpeas around, we have a huge thing of tahini and well everything else is just basic pantry items.
Enjoy
