Homemade Hummus Recipe

October 18, 2017 by 10 Comments

How many of my readers are hummus fans? I sure am! Last week, I was randomly craving chips and hummus after having gone several months without having any. The Walmart brand was decent, but after finishing the entire tub in one week, I decided to make my own. The recipe I came up with was leaps and bounds better than store-bought.

Homemade Hummus

Ingredients

  • 1-15 oz can garbanzo beans
  • 1/4 cup tahini often found in the international aisle
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2-1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 Tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients, and blend using an immersion hand blender--such as a Bamix--until creamy. (Food processors and regular blenders work, as well.)
  2. Store in the refrigerator. Serve with chips or veggies.

    It just needs fresh lemon juice and fresh garlic to be both authentic and delicious, and the lemon juice will also eliminate any need for salt.
    Yum!

    Hummus is delicious! You can also flavor it with jalapeños or chili pepper sauce, if you like spicy! Thank you Ellie for sharing. I read all of your blogs and really appreciate all your hard work.

    Do you drain your garbanzo beans?

    Looks absolutely delicious – love fresh hummus and sometimes make my own. Had you thought of making your own chips? We often do this and it’s fantastic😊

      I haven’t, but I’m sure they’re delicious. Are they difficult to make?

    Not at all difficult – just a few ingredients! The recipe I use calls for 1/2 packet of pita breads (this would be 4 pita bread usually). Preheat oven to grill and spray or brush with olive or another type of cooking oil and toast each side for a few minutes! Very important to keep a close eye on them to avoid charcoal pita chips! After brushing with oil I like to sprinkle on Moroccan seasoning (found in my local supermarket but you could select any seasoning that appeals). If trying to be extra healthy sometimes I will buy wholemeal pita bread😊
