Easy Recipe of Hummus at Home
When
it comes to healthy snacks we love hummus not only is it the perfect dip but
it's delicious in sandwiches and wraps and a variety of other recipes. It is easy
to make your own homemade hummus. And you never have to buy it from the store
again. Let's dive in.
We
make this hummus from canned organic chickpeas as it's faster but if you'd like
to soak fresh chickpeas overnight that's fine as well. The important thing is
to strain the chickpeas and keep the leftover liquid which is also known as Aquafaba
because we'll use that again in a little bit.
So
add both cans of chickpeas to your blender along with a half a cup of tahini if
you've never used tahini before it's simply ground sesame seeds but it adds
that wonderful creamy and nutty flavor to hummus. After that you'll add the
juice of two fresh lemons and we just squeeze these through hands to catch the
seeds.
When
it comes to adding garlic we find that two cloves give you your basic hummus
flavor but if you'd like a more garlicky hummus, of course feel free to add
more. And the great thing is you don't have to mince the cloves just peel them
and toss them in the blender. Next you'll add a quarter cup of olive Oil, a
teaspoon of cumin and a pinch or two of kosher salt.
Lastly,
add some of that reserved Aquafaba we start with a third of a cup but if you'd
like a thinner consistency feel free to add more. Then blend it all together
and use the tamper to push the hummus into the blades just as you would in
making nut butter.
About
30 seconds later you'll have super smooth and creamy hummus. Place a few spoonful of the hummus onto a
plate and use the back of your spoon to create a little swoosh or well in the hummus,
then drizzle a little olive oil and sprinkle paprika and fresh parsley after
you taste this we think you'll agree that it's the most delicious hummus and
one that we are sure you'll make again and again.
