A very easy hummus recipe that is great served with pita chips, crackers and fresh veggie slices. Ingredients:
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans, drained reserving about a 1 tbsp of drained liquid) |
1 large lemon, juice of |
extra virgin olive oil |
1/4 cup tahini paste (sesame paste) |
2 -4 garlic cloves, crushed |
1 -2 teaspoon ground coriander |
1 -2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
paprika (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Place the drained chickpeas, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
2. Add reserved liquid, tahini, lemon juice and 1/3 cup of Olive Oil and process until smooth consistency is reached. (Gradually add a Tablespoon of Olive oil at a time until light and fluffy texture is reached if necessary).
3. Add remaining spices.
4. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to let flavors blend. Best if made the day before and given 24 hours in refrigerator.
5. I like to serve the hummus in a clear glass bowl. I drizzle extra virgin olive oil over top and sprinkle with a little paprika. Serve with fresh pita bread, pita chips, crackers, and/or veggies.
