Make Your Own Hummus - Basic Recipe

Make Your Own Hummus - Basic Recipe


1. Sauté the onions in the oil for about 5 minutes.

2. Add minced garlic and spices and sauté another 2 minutes or until fragrant.

3. Be sure to keep stirring to avoid sticking or the garlic getting too dark.

4. Drain the chickpeas, reserving their liquid.

5. Add them to a blender or food processor with just enough liquid to blend.

6. If using a blender, like I have, be patient, and keep scraping down the sides.

7. Once chickpeas are somewhat smooth, add the sautéed onion, garlic and spice mixture from the stove and blend until combined.

8. Scrape into a bowl and add lime/lemon juice if using, and fold in fresh parsley or cilantro.

9. Serve with grilled pita or as a dip for fresh veggies.
