Home-Made Hummus (Better than store bought!)

I love this recipe from Inspiredtaste.net – Easy Hummus Recipe – Better Than Store-bought

It’s my go-to! They instruct you to use a food processor. Since I’ve lived my life without one, I just use a Wizz-stick.  Here is my adjusted version with more straight forward instructions.

Ingredients

·         1/4 cup (60 ml) well-stirred tahini

·         1/4 cup (60 ml) of fresh lemon juice

·         2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil

·         1 small garlic clove, minced

·         1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

·         1/2 teaspoon ground paprika

·         Salt to taste

·         400g can of chickpeas, drained and well rinsed

·         2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 ml) water

·         Dash ground paprika, for serving

Method

· Put Tahini and lemon juice in a jug.

· Wizz for 1 minute until “whipped or creamy”

· Add olive oil, garlic, cumin and salt

· I also add a dash of paprika, but this is optional

· Wizz for 30 seconds until blended

· Add chickpeas and wizz until smooth – you can add half of the chickpeas, wizz, then add the other half to make this easier.

· Season to taste

· Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and another dash of paprika

· You can store the hummus for up to one week in the fridge
