If You Like Hummus...

12/15/2017

"If you like Hummus" is a great way to start this recipe because nearly 100 million Americans have no idea what Hummus is, and out of those who do, only about a quarter eat it regularly. 

What Is Hummus?


​Hummus is a paste made from mostly chickpeas and dates back to the 13th century Middle East where chickpeas were (and still are) in abundance.

How Do You Eat Hummus?

You can eat Hummus as a dip with pita bread or chips, or with whatever bread you have on hand. But it can also be used to replace mayo or mustard. I found a great site giving you 10 ways to eat Hummus, just click HERE. 

Is Hummus Good For You? 

Hummus is made with beans, ground sesame seeds, and oil (basically) so your nutritional benefits will include getting more protein (about 3g per 2Tbsp), fiber, and fat. If that doesn't sound like a good thing to you, then click HERE to learn how beans are not only good for you but help you lose weight in the process.

How To Make Your Own Hummus

iNGREDIENTS 

  • ​1 cup dried garbanzo (chickpea) beans (or 2 cups cooked)

If you have cooked chickpeas, continue on with the recipe instructions. 

Prep 2. Do You Have Tahini Paste?

If you already have Tahini paste at home, continue with the recipe instructions.
If you don't have Tahini at home and have no idea what it is, keep reading.

TAHINI PASTE
Tahini is a  sesame seed paste, that in Arabic means "to grind"; and that's really all it is: ground up (hulled) sesame seeds.  Tahini is normally used for hummus, but it's also used for Baba Ganoush, dressings, and sauces.
You can buy a jar for under $5 at Walmart, Target, and Trader Joe's, or choose to make your own. I found a great recipe for making your own Tahini HERE.

Prep 3. In The Kitchen 

  • Get out your blender and dust it off
  • Clean up and prep 2-4 garlic cloves
  • Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into a small dish or cup (if your aim's that good)
  • Measure out all the rest of your ingredients and set aside 

Instructions

  • ​Add garlic cloves into your blender and pulse until chopped
  • Add chickpeas and pulse for about 30sec until crumbly
  • Add in the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. (add more salt/water to taste)
  • Place Hummus in a serving dish and enjoy, or put in an airtight container in the fridge for later!
