Hummus
Recipes » Appetizers » Dips and Spreads
Simple, healthy dip made from garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas).
"This is a great recipe to have on hand. Perfect for a quick snack or add parsley, olives and olive oil to the top and call it lunch. I only used 1 small garlic clove and a little more lemon juice than called for. These changes were only a matter of my own taste. I think this is a great recipe and will be making it again. Fast, flavorful, and easy. Five stars in my book" - OaxacaCookinYield: 4 Servings Ready in 10 minutes

Notes Hummus Preparation
Drain the garbanzo beans and reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid
Combine the beans, 1/4 reserved liquid, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, olive oil, cumin, pepper and salt in a blender or small food processor. Puree until smooth.
Best if refrigerated for at least 3 hours. Serve in a shallow dish, drizzle additional extra virgin olive oil over the hummus just before serving.
Notes
You can add all sorts of extras to this base recipe: sun tried tomatoes, peppers, chilis, ginger. My favorite is to add 1-2 tbs of harissa (a Tunisian hot chili sauce) to give a nice heat!

Best hummus I've ever tasted! Thank you! I have found I like it with the juice of a whole lemon instead of the quantity listed.

This hummus rocks! It has such a great flavor. I reduced the tahini slightly because the brand I use is really strong.

This is now my go to recipe for hummus. Sometimes I will add olives or something to it, but it's also perfect just the way it is. It comes out way better than any store bought hummus.
