Traditional Hummus

I think I could sell this stuff it's so good!  I have actually had people tell me that before.  You judge for yourself.
Prep Time10 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Course: Appetizer
Keyword: Hummus

Ingredients

  • 1 Can Chix peas
  • 2 to 3 Cloves Garlic
  • 1/4 Cup Tahini sauce
  • 3 T Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 T Chix peas liquid (aqufaba)
  • 1 t Salt
  • 1 t Cumin
  • Few Dashes Hot sauce
  • 1/4 Cup Olive oil

Instructions

  • Drain the chix peas, but save the liquid.  You will use some of it for the hummus, but there a lot of other uses for aquafaba or chix pea liquid - trust me!

Place all the ingredients except the olive oil into a food processor.

  • Blend until very smooth - I usually blend for 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Slowly pour the olive oil into the food processor while it is running - SAFELY!
  • Place into a container and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Notes  You can add more garlic for a Garlic hummus.  You can add some roasted red peppers for a Red Pepper Hummus.  Or add any other flavoring to change up your traditional Hummus.
Note:  I serve with fresh pitas that I bake for 8 minutes with a little olive oil and garlic salt and cut into wedges (you can do the same with Naan).  I also serve with cut up fresh cucumbers, red peppers, carrots or whatever veggie you like
