HOMEMADE HUMMUS IS BETTER

I'm not a terrific cook, but I have learned to prepare a handful of fool-proof of apps and main courses over the years. I also have a short attention span for cooking, so I need my recipes to be quick, simple, and of course taste good. It took me a while to create the type of hummus that I like (smooth, creamy, light, bright tasting, and versatile)

INGREDIENTS:

  1. 16oz of chickpeas (I get Eden's Organics)
  2. 8oz of cannellini beans (Eden again)
  3. 2 tbsp tahini
  4. 1 tbsp of minced garlic
  5. juice from 1 whole lemon
  6. 2 tbsp olive oil
  7. 1-2 tbsp of water if needed
  8. Salt/pepp to taste

STEPS TO MAKE:

  1. Toss everything into a blender
  2. Blend until desired creaminess
  3. Taste and add more salt, lemon, garlic or whatever you like if needed - you can also add your own flare and include dill, roasted red pepper, siracha, other cooked vegetables, etc.
  4. Blend again
  5. Serve

What can you serve this with?

  1. Pita bread or any bread - toasted or just warmed
  2. Chopped vegetables
  3. Chips
  4. In a sandwich
  5. Or straight up!

ENJOY!
