Viewed: 54 - Published at: 5 months agoIngredients
- 2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas (AKA Garbanzo Beans)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced and then mashed)
- 23 cup tahini sauce (roasted, not raw, may substitute peanut butter)
- 13 cup lemon juice
- 12 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 14 cup olive oil
- 12 cup water (if you prefer it less pasty)
- chipotle pepper
- paprika
- chili powder
- red bell pepper
- sun-dried tomato
- dill
- curry powder
- cucumber
- sunflower seeds
- pine nuts (toasted)
- fresh parsley (chopped)
Method
- In a food processor, gradually combine the mashed garlic, garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, 1/2 cup water, and olive oil.
- Process until smooth.
- Add salt, starting at a half a teaspoon, to taste.
- Spoon into serving dish and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley.
- TIP: Once youve added all the main ingredients, you have a basic hummus that is good all on its own.
- Now that you have your basic hummus you may wish to go nuts with some flavor!
- I personally like to add two or three chipotle peppers (a jalapeno is incredibly good, and quite spicy), some paprika for color, and a dash of onion powder.
- Sometimes I just add chili powder if Im lazy.
- Chopped scallions can also be quite charming, as well as fresh or dried red bell pepper.
- Experiment with dill too.
- Ive had great curry hummus, and fresh veggies like radish can sometimes be surprisingly good.
- Give it a try.
- You can try lots of seasonings this way, and youll surely find something you adore.
