Homemade Hummus Using Dried Garbanzo Beans
 
 
Author:
Ingredients
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled (I ended up using five)
  • 4 cups drained cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans) or you can used canned
  • Some of the liquid from boiling the garbanzo beans
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • Pinch of ground coriander
  • 5 tablespoons tahini (You can find tahini in health food departments or you can order it online from places like Amazon or VitaCost. It’s a little spendy – but a little bit goes a long way so it should last you for many recipes.)
  • Juice of three large lemons (I ended up using four)
  • 3 tablespoons good olive oil, plus more if you need it
  • Optional: Paprika sprinkled as a garnish
Instructions
  1. In a blender or food processor (see food processors on Amazon) puree all the ingredients until it’s creamy – give it longer than you think it needs. Make it the consistency you like by adding cooking liquid from the chickpeas and additional olive oil. Add salt to taste and additional lemon juice if you want more of that flavor. Ta da! You have hummus. It’s great with carrots, pita bread, on sandwiches or even spread in these feta, tomato wraps.
