This is a really nice classic hummus recipe that can either be enjoyed as is or adapted with other flavorings. Serve with veggies, crackers, in a sandwich or on MumMum.
Ingredients
  • 3 cups cooked chickpeas (1 cup dried or 2 x 15 oz cans)
  • ⅓ cup water or reserve liquid from can
  • ¼ cup extra light olive oil
  • 4 tbsp tahini
  • 4 tbsp lemon juice
  • ⅓ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp ground sea salt
  • 1 - 3 cloves fresh garlic
Instructions
  1. Soak 1 cup of chickpeas overnight in filtered water. Rinse and add to a pot with enough water to cover the chickpeas by at least an inch.
  2. Cook uncovered on medium-high heat until tender (1 - 2 hours). Test after one hour and adjust time accordingly.
  3. Add the chickpeas and other ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. You may want to start with one clove of garlic at a time to ensure the hummus doesn't get too spicy.
Notes
Makes 2 cups.

If this is too much for your family to get through in a week then you can freeze some for later. It's great to make big batches of hummus so you only have to make it once or twice a month.
