Easy Homemade Hummus
For a fun homemade snack, give homemade hummus a try. You'll know exactly what the ingredients are, and you can experiment to make it your own.
Equipment
- 1 food processor (a blender or chopper will also work)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup tahini sauce
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 clove garlic peeled and minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 can (8 oz) chickpeas drained and rinsed
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Stir up the tahini sauce and add it to the food processor.
- Add lemon juice and run the food processor for about 1 minute.
- Next, add the garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, chickpeas, and about 1/2 tsp of salt to start.
- Run the processor for another minute. Then, stop to scrape the sides and to taste test whether more salt is needed.
- Run the processor another minute.
- Once it's at the texture and taste you prefer, you can be done.
Notes
If you want your hummus creamier and less thick, add about 1-2 tbsp of water, and run the food processor a little longer.
Once it reaches your desired consistency, you’re all done. Grab your pita bread or your favorite dipping veggies, and enjoy! For a little razzle dazzle, sprinkle some chili powder or your favorite seasoning on top. Now you can teach others how to make homemade hummus also!
