This simple homemade hummus is easy and cheap.

Ingredients

Units
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 12 Tbsp water
  • paprika or za’atar for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by removing the skin from the chickpeas. Yes, this will take a little time, but it makes a difference in creating a smooth consistency.
  2. Place chickpeas, tahini, cumin, salt, lemon juice and garlic cloves in a food processor and start pulsing. While food processor is running, drizzle in olive oil. Check consistency and add more olive oil.
  3. If consistency is still too chunky add a few Tbsp of water and pulse again.
  4. Sprinkle top with paprika or za’atar and serve with pita, chips or veggies. 

Notes

The hummus can be stored in airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
