Homemade Hummus



So I made the Tahini for the Baba Ganoush then decided to make hummus. It is actually really easy to make and so good for you loaded with protein, folate, magnesium, and fiber.
It makes a great light meal or snack, its healthy and satisfying.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of cooked chick pea's (we soaked them over night then pressure cooked them, hubby was making channa dal so I took half!) or a can would also work fine.
  • 3 -4 cloves of garlic
  • olive oil
  • one tablespoon tahini
  • lemon juice
  • salt
Method:

  1. simply grind the chick peas, olive oil, salt, lemon juice, garlic and tahini together.
Its that simple, great for dipping and sharing!





Have a great weekend everyone

Love

oh and I also got a Lovely Blog from Art Food and Travel Chronicles from Sheba a great cook and artist from Goa, India, be sure to check out her blog

  11. Thank you for this post. Everytime I pick up a container of hummus at Whole Foods I say to myself "why don't you make your own" But then never take the time to look for a recipe.

  41. I've never made hummus before. I always thought it'd be easier to just buy it from Trader Joe's. But since you made it look so easy... I might just try it.
