Easy Hummus

Easy Hummus. This easy lemon-garlic hummus from Kris Capener in Utah is perfect for beginners!. I was skeptical about leaving out the tahini. I added a bit more garlic, a tsp of black pepper, a dash of tamari, and a chopped up green onion to give it some of the flavors of my fave Moosewood recipe.

Ingredients

You need 225-240 g of canned chickpeas (garbanzos)
You need 2-3 tbsp of almond butter, or Skippy (or tahini if you have one)
You need 1/4 cup of olive oil
It’s 2-4 of garlic cloves, to taste
Prepare Dash of salt, to taste
You need 1/2 tsp of cumin (optional)
It’s 1/8 cup of lemon / lime juice (or juice out 4-6 pcs of calamansi)
You need 2-3 tbsp of "cold" water (trick of the trade)
Prepare Dash of paprika or cayenne pepper, as garnish
Prepare Dash of olive oil, as garnish

Steps

On a blender / bullet / food processor, combine nut butter (or tahini), and olive oil and pulse until smooth..
Add all the remaining ingredients, pulse until smooth. If puree appear to be tacky or thick, add 1-2 tbsp of water then pulse again. NOTE!: If you have LOTS of time and want to make extra creamy hummus, peel off the chickpea membranes before you puree them..
Taste test to know if you need to adjust according to your own preference..
Transfer puree on a serving bowl. With a spoon, gently glide it on top of the puree to create a pleasantly looking swirl, then drizzle a dash of paprika and olive oil..
Serve as a dip, as a bread spread, as a salad dressing, OR use as your alternative to cheese or mayonnaise that your other recipe calls for..

Customize the recipe: this is an easy recipe to customize to your favorite flavors. Adjust the amount of ingredients like lemon, salt, and garlic if you prefer. To make it spicy: add a couple pinches of red pepper flakes. Blending your hummus: pause to scrape the hummus from the sides of the blender into the bottom. This easy hummus recipe is truly a favorite.
