Hummus is almost as easy to make as it is to buy. The key to making this hummus recipe creamy is letting the food processor run for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Ingredients
2 small garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
540-mL can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp tahini
1/4 tsp cumin
Instructions
WHIRL garlic and salt in a food processor. Add chickpeas, oil, water, lemon juice, tahini, chili flakes and cumin. Continue whirling until hummus is very smooth.
SPREAD onto 4 salad plates, leaving a well in centre. Top hummus with Spiced Lamb and Pine Nuts, if desired.
Hummus Recipe Tip: Adding spicy sautéed meat turns hummus into a fabulous main course. Serve with lots of very fresh pita.
