I love Hummus.
It's just one of those foods you either love or hate. The only thing I would change about store bought hummus is leave out the tahini. It's WAY too strong for my taste, but some people argue it's not really true hummus if you don't add the tahini.
Well I would beg to differ......
Ingredients
2 15oz can of prepared garbanzo beans (I used the Organic, BPA Free, S&W brand)
2 Medium Sized Lemons
1 tsp. Sea Salt
1/4 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
a pinch of cayenne
1/2 tsp. Smoked Paprika (make sure to buy smoked not regular, there is a difference)
3 Cloves of Garlic, whole
1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus extra for garnish
Directions
Put 1 1/2 cans of garbanzo beans into your blender, (my favorite blender to use is my little nutri-bullet, but any blender will do), add salt, pepper, cayenne, smoked paprika, whole garlic cloves, and olive oil to beans. juice both lemons well, I recommend using a strainer for this so that you don't get any unexpected seeds into your hummus. Also get the zest from one of the lemons and add that and the juice to the other ingredients already in the blender. Blend on high for 2-5 minutes or until hummus is the consistency of.....well hummus! Garnish with the remainder of beans left in the can, pepper, smoked paprika, and olive oil. Cool in fridge for 1 hour before serving.
..Also might I add how much I love my Nutribullet! Its small but mighty and has two blades that come with it,
The Extractor Blade is for making smoothies, nut butters, and hummus and The Milling Blade is for grinding whole grains (like brown rice, oats), dried beans, and nuts, into flours. Which saves a TON of money in the long run if you are looking for a way to save money on alternative flours. (the link below will take you to amazon marketplace)
