My Favorite Homemade Hummus
Making homemade hummus is so easy, and tastier too! I learned the secret to My Favorite Hummus when I traveled to my husband's home country, the Dominican Republic!
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 can garbanzo beans
- 3 Tablespoons tahini
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- juice of 2 limes about 1/4 cup
- water as needed to achieve desired consistency
- parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the canned garbanzo beans well (you can save the liquid to use as aquafaba if desired)
- Place all ingredients, except for the water, in your food processor.
- Blend until fairly smooth, scraping down the sides with a silicone spatula as needed.
- Slowly add water in, 1 Tablespoon at a time, and blend until it reaches desired consistency (I usually add 1 or 2 Tablespoons).
- For really smooth hummus, let it run for 3 or 4 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed...totally worth it!
- Garnish with chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil, and serve with pita, fresh veggies, or a spoon!
