Homemade Hummus
By: Gigi Howe
I have been thinking about posting this recipe for a while and when I saw the Sabra Classic Hummus Recall a few days ago, I decided this would be this week’s recipe.
Hummus is soooooo easy to make, especially if you have a food processor. I’ve been making this recipe for years. Its simple and its one of those recipes where you can add or subtract ingredients depending on your taste. You can make your hummus chunky, or smooth. I like it smooth so I blend it for a while. If you don’t have a food processor or blender you can mince the garlic and onion then use a potato masher for the chick peas. It will most likely be a coarser hummus but that works too.
This recipe calls for tahini sauce which is made from sesame seeds. If you can not find tahini, since not all stores carry it, you can substitute olive oil (which is something that I’ve had to do).
There are so many different ways to eat hummus. I like mine as a dip with tortilla chips or vegetables. 🙂
