HUMMUS

This homemade hummus recipe is incredibly easy to make in minutes with canned chickpeas. Great with veggies or pita chips. Really, it’s great with anything!

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 drops sesame oil, or to taste (optional)

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

Blend chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and sesame oil in a food processor.

Stream reserved chickpea liquid into the mixture as it blends until desired consistency is achieved. Serve with pita chips or veggies.

Cook’s Note

I usually end up using about half of the chickpea liquid, so be sure to reserve it. I like to let the flavors meld for several hours or overnight before serving.
