Hummus
<<
Hummus is a very popular appetizer recipe that is nutritious and very easy to prepare. It is served as a dip together with pita, vegetables and other snacks – it will disappear quickly! This is a very basic recipe - add a few pinches of your favorite herbs and spices according to your taste preferences.
Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 can of chickpeas (about 20 oz.), drained, reserve the liquid
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
- 3 tbsp. lemon juice
- ½ tsp. salt, or to taste
- ½ tsp. cumin
Place garlic and drained chickpeas in food processor. Using steel knife attachment, process until smooth. Add remaining ingredients, except for reserved chickpea liquid. Process until you reach a thick and smooth consistency. It should be thick, but not too thick – to thin out hummus, add a bit of the liquid and pulse it in. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
