Howt::Recipe Yummus Hummus

October 4th, 2008

I love love love to eat (and make) hummus, and here’s my favorite recipe.  I’ve been playing around with a few recipes and put more of what I like and less of what I don’t.  Hummus is super easy to make, all you do is take all of the ingredients listed below and throw them in a food processor until it’s creamy with a slightly grainy looking texture.  It’s amazing how much less expensive it is to make hummus than to buy it at the store!

Ingredients:

  • 2 16 ounce cans of garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drains and rinsed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp -1 tbsp crushed red pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 – 2/3 cup lemon, to taste
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup olive oil OR garlic flavored olive oil

Like I said above, just throw all of the ingredients in the food processor!  Serve it chilled with some pitas (or if you ate all of your pitas like I did, crackers taste fine as well).

    They’re really easy to find! Everything can be found at a place like wal-mart except the tahini, which is in the international section of most grocery stores :) .
