Easy Hummus

We've been on a bit of a hummus kick lately. Here's an easy recipe from Real Simple:

1 can chickpeas, rinsed well
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup oil, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini paste (ground sesame seeds)- optional
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika

I don't have a food processor, so I use the blender... a food processor would work MUCH better, though! Puree chickpeas and blend with other ingredients (except paprika). Add a tablespoon of water, if needed, if mixture is too thick. Transfer to serving bowl and top with paprika and additional oil. Serve with pita chips and raw veggies.

  1. We love hummus! I made roasted red pepper hummus last night. I always save some of the chickpea water/juice to change the consistency if needed. It freezes well too, so I often make a few batches.
