Hummus recipe?

[ehirsch83]

We make hummus on a weekly basis.

Don't have a recipe though- do it all by taste.

I can tell you that first blending your chickpeas, tahini and olive oil is important.- Do tahini by taste(i add more as needed). I find that olive oil really helps with the consistency as it sits.

I then add salt and lemon juice to taste and from there add in other ingredients.

We have recently made a 7 pepper hummus, a basil-garlic-lemon hummus, an olive hummus and also a roasted poblano, avocado and garlic.

You can be as creative as you want! If you think it will taste good- there is a good chance it will

Be creative and have fun- just remember start in moderation, blend- taste- and continue from there

Another thing I recently learned about making hummus is to add boiling water slowly to the Tahini in a separate bowl. You have to stir in the hot water slowly and it makes the tahini get very creamy and fluffy. When you blend it in the whole thing is lighter and fluffier so I don't need to add the extra olive oil and it makes it lower fat.
