Hummus is a tasty and healthy dish. It makes a great side, salad accompaniment, or chip dip, and the best thing is that you can make it yourself in a matter of minutes. Here’s how to make delicious hummus from scratch.
What You Need
The main piece of equipment that you need to make hummus is a blender. Besides that, it’s all about what you put in it. You’ll need about two cups of chickpeas (cooked), two tablespoons of olive oil, two tablespoons of tahini, freshly squeezed lemon juice, one clove of garlic, a teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of ground black pepper.
Mix Ingredients in the Blender
Once you have all of this, all you need to do is place all of these ingredients into the blender. Blend the mixture until it is a smooth paste. This should take at least five minutes—the smoother your hummus, the better.
Additional Seasoning?
When the contents of the blender is thick and smooth, taste the hummus to check whether it needs any more seasoning. Add salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Serve
Serve the hummus in any way you please. Good combinations include serving with pita bread, olives, olive oil, or salads.
