Homemade Hummus
So I made the Tahini for the Baba Ganoush then decided to make hummus. It is actually really easy to make and so good for you loaded with protein, folate, magnesium, and fiber.It makes a great light meal or snack, its healthy and satisfying.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of cooked chick pea's (we soaked them over night then pressure cooked them, hubby was making channa dal so I took half!) or a can would also work fine.
- 3 -4 cloves of garlic
- olive oil
- one tablespoon tahini
- lemon juice
- salt
Method:
- simply grind the chick peas, olive oil, salt, lemon juice, garlic and tahini together.
Its that simple, great for dipping and sharing!
Have a great weekend everyone
Love

ReplyDeletei love hummus with some more fiber added to it , spring onions seem to be the best crunch added to it for me...
Beautiful recipe! Adorable photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post. Everytime I pick up a container of hummus at Whole Foods I say to myself "why don't you make your own" But then never take the time to look for a recipe.

I love hummus, Rebecca, but we can't have it over the holidays as one of my sons is deathly allergic to it.
ReplyDeleteI'll save the recipe for when he's not with us....love the little red tomato in the center!
Congratulations on the award Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love homemade hummus! This recipe sounds delicious!
Mmm, love Hummus. It is a very versatile dip, veggies, fries, and crackers and is also a great spread for sandwiches. Enjoy, my babies love it too! and yes still working on the latte art.
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable pictures of your little one!! I love her facial exprssions!
ReplyDeleteI love to make hummus and find all sorts of new things to add to it! I found if I use my immersion blender I can make it in a snap with minimal clean up!
I make hummus all the time! I just love it and it's so easy and good for you! Jasmine is such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteMmmm. Hummus is such an easy to make staple in our house. But I salute you for making your own tahini and dry chick peas - I bet it is even more wonderful that way.

ReplyDeleteRuth oh it was wonderful to go home thanks for asking
I've never made hummus before. I always thought it'd be easier to just buy it from Trader Joe's. But since you made it look so easy... I might just try it.
ReplyDeleteLove this hummus! Baby Jasmine looks adorable :D
