Hummus Middle Eastern Style
Description
Why buy hummus when it is so easy to make. This is the basic recipe but be creative. Add jarred roasted red peppers that have been rinsed and dried or omit the cumin and add paprika (I like the smoked paprika). Another version is add a little more lemon juice, omit the cumin and add jarred artichokes. The possibilites are endless.
Ingredients
- 2 cans of chickpeas rinsed and drained
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup tahini (stir well to blend in the oil)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1 teaspoon sea salt

Methods/steps
