Hello friends. With all the busyness of summer I’ve been absent from this blog for a little over a month, but I’ve really missed it. I hope you’re having a great summer.
Today I have a simple, delicious recipe to share with you.
I love the creamy hummus that Mediterranean restaurants serve. I’ve been making this hummus recipe fairly often over the last 12 months or so and I think it rivals good restaurant hummus – and it’s so much better than store-bought. It’s super smooth and flavorful and makes a great snack or lunch – we like to dip tortilla or pita chips, pita bread, and sometimes sliced up veggies. I love how easy this is to make – just throw everything in a food processor and process to your desired creaminess.
Ingredients
- One 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (you can also use bottled, but fresh tastes better)
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons water
- Paprika, sprinkled over the top for serving
Directions
- Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor.
- Process to your desired creaminess.
- Spoon the hummus onto a plate or into a bowl for serving.
- Drizzle with olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) and sprinkle with paprika. (As you can tell from the above picture, we like a lot of paprika.)
Enjoy.
