I've been searching for the perfect hummus recipe... tried one, it was gross, threw the whole batch out. Tried another, same thing. Even threw out the store bought stuff. Then I found this!! Posting it here so I don't have to hunt next time I want to make it again! :) And in case anyone else might need a recipe for some tasty hummus.
TIP: warm pita bread IS A MUST!!!
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans (I remove the skins, but I don't think you have to)
- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (I find one lemon will generally yield about 2 Tbsp, I roll the lemon between my hand and the counter top -thank you Take Home Chef- to loosen the flesh of the lemon making it easier to squeeze out every last drop of juice!)
- 4 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste
Mince the garlic. Drain and rinse garbanzo beans, remove skins then pour into blender. Add lemon juice, tahini, minced garlic and salt. Add water and blend until creamy and well mixed. (I didn't measure the water, just added a little at a time until I got the consistency that I wanted) Sprinkle with pepper to taste.
The original recipe (which I changed just slightly) called for olive oil on top and garnishing with some whole beans... I had no patience for garnish of any sort since I planned to dig in straight out of the blender. I was not disappointed! Even my boys loved it. Connor's first word after the first bite... AMAZING!!! :) I will definitely be making this one again!!
