How-To Make Hummus (Video)

If you came into my kitchen and opened up my fridge I could just about guarantee that you would find some hummus in there!

It’s a staple around here.  We eat it often.

And although it’s not always homemade, every time I make it from scratch I’m always left thinking the same thought.

“Man, this is so easy! Why don’t I make hummus more often?!”

This recipe is packed with flavor and really rich.  It’s my fave but sometimes when I want to lighten it up a bit, I’ll cut back on the oil and/or tahini a bit and add in a little extra water.

Definitely not as rich but still packed with flavor.

Once you’ve got this base recipe down you can add in lots of different flavors and ingredients.  A few of my favorites are roasted peppers, artichokes, and kalamata olives (BUT not all together;)!

What about you?!  Have you ever tried making hummus before?!  What are some of your favorite flavors?!

    Try thinning you hummus with the reserved ‘bean juice’ from the can instead of evoo or water.

    I’m using dried chickpeas instead of canned. I’m soaking them in water right now. I can’t wait to try it!

    Made this hummus yesterday. I used a bit more garlic (because I love garlic) and it turned out GREAT! It’s wonderful to have on hand with carrot stick or other raw veggies. A great snack that provides protein and crunch!!
