This household gets on hummus kicks every now and again. I have tried making different types of hummus to switch it up, and to see if my daughter likes the different flavors we come up with. Roasted garlic, edamame, and black bean with lime are the last few I have made. They are all very good, but sometimes I forget about why I love hummus to begin with! The simple taste of chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and lemon are simple, easy, and delicious!
The recipe I am about to share is one I am hoping the whole family will enjoy! My daughter gobbled it up, and so did I! She literally kept trying to put her fingers in it to scoop out more! I suggest serving it with baked pita chips and/or your favorite veggie sticks (celery, carrots, and cucumber are just a few that would be yummy with this), since fingers are just a little messier. Enjoy!
Classic Hummus
Ingredients:
1 can prepared (cooked) chickpeas (no salt added preferably), drained, but juice reserved
2 garlic cloves crushed
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup juice from the chickpeas
juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes. Serve immediately or store in fridge. I like to drizzle mine with a little olive oil and paprika when serving.
From here you can add all kinds of ingredients to spice up your hummus. I mentioned a few above, but more suggestions are roasted red pepper, artichokes, eggplant, spicy (add some hot sauce or cayenne), the possibilities are endless! Have fun with it!
