Make Your Own Hummus - Basic Recipe
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 4.92 ml vegetable oil
- 425.24 g can chickpeas, preferably organic
- 118.29 ml onion, chopped
- 2-4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4.92 ml coriander
- 2.46 ml curry powder (I used Penzey's Balti curry powder)
- 4.92 ml cumin
- 0.61 ml cayenne or 0.61 ml red chili powder
- 14.79 ml lemon juice (to taste)
- 59.14-118.29 ml fresh parsley or 59.14-118.29 ml fresh cilantro, chopped
directions
- Sauté the onions in the oil for about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and spices and sauté another 2 minutes or until fragrant.
- Be sure to keep stirring to avoid sticking or the garlic getting too dark.
- Drain the chickpeas, reserving their liquid.
- Add them to a blender or food processor with just enough liquid to blend.
- If using a blender, like I have, be patient, and keep scraping down the sides.
- Once chickpeas are somewhat smooth, add the sautéed onion, garlic and spice mixture from the stove and blend until combined.
- Scrape into a bowl and add lime/lemon juice if using, and fold in fresh parsley or cilantro.
- Serve with grilled pita or as a dip for fresh veggies.
