in #vegan6 years ago (edited)

Hey guys I'm back with a new suuuper easy recipe, one that is an absolute MUST for vegans (or anyone with tastebuds to be honest!)

I eat so much hummus that it's actually crazy that I hadn't started making my own until now, but now that I have I don't think I will ever buy it again!

Not only does this recipe taste better than shop bought hummus, with chickpeas costing around 40p a tin it soo much cheaper. Winning!

Here's what you'll need for about 4 servings (who am I kidding?😂 )

Ingredients:


  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 4 tbsp well-stirred tahini
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil + a little more for serving
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 -3 tbsp water
  • Sprinkling of paprika, to serve

Method:

  • Add the tahini and lemon juice to your food processor and blend for 1 minute. Stop and scrape the sides and bottom to combine and then process for 30 seconds more.

  • Add the olive oil, garlic, cumin, and a little salt to the tahini and lemon juice. Process for 30 seconds, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then process another 30 seconds or until well blended.

  • Open, drain, and rinse the chickpeas. Add to the food processor and process for 1 minute.

  • The texture will no doubt be too thick at this point, so add the water and blend again until it reaches your desired consistency.

  • Taste, and add a little more tahini, salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve hummus with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika alongside toasted pitta.

It's so simple it's fool proof!

I'm over the moon to be able to whip up delicious healthy hummus whenever I like with so few ingredients and such little expense.

Wow looks delicious. I will definitely try it.

Thanks so much! It's too easy not to try 😊

Excellent memes. Made this today, but without salt and oil and paprika instead of cumin. I usually just add the water until the consistency is right. Make it once and you will never go back to store bought. P.S. we have the same food processor.

Hehe I just got it but loving using it so far! Good suggestions, I'll have to try it without oil next time 😊

Thank you for posting this delicious looking hummus recipe! Cannot wait to make some and try it.

Thanks so much! Let me know what you think if you try it 😊

I def will
