Funny thing was I had the dry chickpeas for a year before I tried making hummus. But once you make it you'll never go back to store bought hummus again!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 5 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup tahini, (sesame paste) well stirred
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

How To Make hummus

  • Freshly cooked garbanzos
    Step 1
    to cook garbanzos, combine 1 cup dried garbanzos in 4 cups water with 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Cook over low heat for 3 to 4 hours. Let cool completely before making your hummus.
  • Step 2
    In food processor combine 2 cups cooked and cooled garbanzos, minced garlic and salt. Pulse for 20 to 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides and pulse again for another 20 seconds.
  • Tahini I use
    Step 3
    Add lemon juice and water and pulse for another 20 to 30 seconds. Add tahini and pulse another 20 to 30 seconds. With food processor running slowly drizzle olive oil into the hummus. Store in airtight container in the fridge. It is so silky smooth you'll never use store bought hummus again!
