Hummus is such a treat in our home, but once you learn how to make it yourself it is so quick and easy to throw together, you can enjoy this healthy treat all the time! I ran out of Tahini, Sesame seed paste, so I experimented with Sesame Oil instead and it works just as deliciously. Win! This recipe makes the equivalent of 2 shop bought tubs, so I like to divide it and flavor the second. Have fun trying with different flavours!
Ingredients:
1 tin drained Chickpeas (reserve 1/4C liquid)
1 clove crushed garlic
1 Tbsp Sesame seed Oil
1 1/2 Tbsp Lemon juice
1/8C Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
1. Place 1/3 tin chickpeas and garlic into the food processor and blend until the garlic is fine.
2. Add the remaining chickpeas and all ingredients except for the reserved liquid. Blend until chickpeas are fine.
3. Add little bits of liquid until desired consistency is reached. We like ours really smooth and creamy.
4. Do a final taste test for salt, pepper or lemon.
5. Optional: divide this in half and flavour 1 with 1tsp Paprika and 1 tsp chili paste.
Delicious served with crackers or veggie sticks at a Picnic or a Braai
