This classic dish is so versatile and loved by all! I have tried many hummus recipes and was never really happy with how they turned out. This is the result of my many hummus experiments in the kitchen. Enjoy! PS- This is a basic hummus recipe; sometimes I like to use this as the base recipe for flavored hummus (for example, I'll add cilantro and a jalepeno, or feta and artichoke hearts, etc. You can have fun with it!). Ingredients:
1 large garlic clove |
2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained |
1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste) |
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 teaspoon cumin |
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 cup cold water |
Directions:
1. In a food processor, finely mince the garlic, stopping and scraping the sides occasionally, if needed.
2. Add the garbanzo beans and pulse the machine to chop them coarsely.
3. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil, lemon juice, and the water through the feed tube. Scrape sides as needed.
4. Stop the processor and add the salt, cumin, coriander and cayenne. Puree for a minute or so. Serve with pita bread at room temperature or chilled.
