Many recipes I find are from Pinterest. I love to eat and I love to cook, but let's be realistic, I want it to be simple. I don't want to go out and buy 500 ingredients that I will use one tsp of every 6 months. With that said, I make homemade hummus yesterday. I have to say it was pretty good for my first time, and made a ton! I added way more garlic and lemon than the recipe said, because I think when making a recipes you can follow directions to a point, and then you add more ingredients to taste.
I decided to make classic hummus, but the website I went on (link at the bottom) has 13 different types of hummus. I really wanted to make the beet one, but my mom didn't want that (boo mom, I hope you're reading).
Ingredients:
1 can chickpeas (in case you didn't know these are also called Garbanzo Beans)
1/3 cup tahini (Personally, I would use a little less next time)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice (the recipe calls for 2 tbs, but I think 3 or more is better, but as I said use it to taste)
1 clove garlic (again, I used more)
***This will be very thick, I added 3-4 tbs water--1 tbs at a time to determine how thick you want the hummus
Directions:
Rinse beans and blend everything together (adding water).
And as always.. here's the link for you all:
