About This Recipe:
Today we are going to be those people, and make our own hummus! From what I’ve seen online, it can be quite controversial to make hummus from canned chickpeas, but I think it’s perfectly fine for homemade hummus. I have found that the texture is much better if you remove the skins from the chickpeas, so I highly recommend this step. If you lightly crush the chickpeas, the skins pop right off and you can easily remove it. With this basic recipe you can make countless variations- red pepper hummus, roasted garlic hummus, etc.
Enjoy!
Ingredients (8 servings)
-30 oz canned chickpeas (de-skinned)
-1/3 cup tahini
-1/4 cup olive oil
-1 lemon, juiced
-1 garlic clove
-Salt
-Pinenuts and paprika, for garnishing
-Optional side: pita bread
Instructions (15 minutes)
1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add to a large bowl and lightly crush the chickpeas to help separate the skins. De-skin as much as much as possible for the smoothest texture.
2. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt.
3. Scoop the hummus into a serving bowl and garnish with the pinenuts, paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil.
