There’s a Hummus Among Us!

Yep, the title for this recipe is pretty lame. But I’ve had a weird week dealing with terroristic threats and what not, so anything that amuses me is rushing out quicker than I can close the dam.

 


I absolutely love hummus-I could eat hummus slathered on sandwiches, by the heaping spoonful, or with veggies if I feel like being a little more sophisticated. What I don’t love is paying $3 or more dollars for a tiny container that’s full of hard to pronounce ingredients.

So, off to the kitchen lab! And, within a few minutes, I had fresh hummus at my fingertips.

 

Here is what’s needed to make this Hummus Among Us Recipe-without tahini:

3 Cups Drained Garbanzo Beans (reserve juice if desired instead of the water)
3/4-1 Cup Water or bean juice (more or less depending on how tender/cooked your beans are)
1 TBS Lemon Juice
2 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
3/4 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp-1 1/2 tsp Garlic Salt (depending on your taste)
1/4 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Salt (not pictured, sorry…)
Food Processor/Blender

 


Pour the 3 Cups of Garbanzo Beans into the blender. Add 1 Cup of Water and hit the puree until the beans are smooth.

 


The Hummus should have this type of consistency-thick but still pliable.

 


Add the 1 TBS Lemon Juice to the mixture.

 


Next, add the 2 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

 


Add the 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Seeds and blend again until smooth.

 


Now for the spices! Add the 3/4 tsp of Chili Powder-(or if you like things a little spicy, take the plunge and add a full 1 TBS).

 


Add the 1 tsp to 1 1/2 tsp Garlic Salt.

 


And finally, add the 1/4 tsp Onion Powder and the 1/4 tsp Salt. Blend again until all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly.

 


Put the hummus into a cute bowl and then add a little more chili powder that will show off your awesome hummus.

 


Serve with fresh cut veggies and enjoy the Hummus that’s Among Us!
