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.
