Make this delicious – and healthy – chickpea puree in a matter of minutes.
You Will Need
- 15-ounce can of chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans
- 1 clove of chopped garlic
- 1 lemon
- Salt
- 2 tbsp. tahini (sesame-seed paste)
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- Pita bread, pita chips, crackers, or vegetables
- A colander
- A food processor, blender, or a potato masher
- A bowl
- Olives, red peppers, or chili peppers
- Garnish of parsley, pine nuts, or diced garlic
Step 1: Blend chickpeas
Open and drain the can of chickpeas. Rinse them off in a colander and put them in a food processor or blender, or place them in a large bowl to mash by hand.
Save a few of the chickpeas to garnish the finished plate.
Step 2: Add tahini paste and garlic
Add the tahini paste and the garlic.
Step 3: Add lemon juice
Squeeze the lemons and add the juice to the mix. Make sure no seeds get in.
Make your own variations by mixing in olives, red peppers, or chili peppers.
Step 4: Add salt and olive oil
Add about one-quarter teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of olive oil.
Step 5: Blend or mash
Blend the mixture – or mash by hand – for about a minute, or until it is as smooth or chunky as you want.
If the hummus is too thick or chunky, add extra olive oil to thin it out.
Step 6: Garnish and serve
Pour the hummus onto a plate and smooth it out in big circles with the bottom of a spoon. Garnish with the leftover chickpeas, parsley, pine nuts, or more chopped garlic. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
Step 7: Enjoy
Enjoy your hummus as a dip with pita bread, crackers, or veggies, or use it as a sandwich spread!
Besides providing a healthy serving of vegetables and legumes, hummus is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.
