- Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
2 16oz. cans of chickpeas (save the extra liquid in a bowl for later)2/3 c tahini1/3 c EVOO2 cloves of garlic, mashed2 T lemon juice (add one at a time and taste test)1/2 t each of salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, and (optional) paprika
Drain the canned chickpeas but keep the extra liquid for later.
Add chickpeas, tahini, and olive oil in a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher to get it started, then use a fork for smoother hummus. You could also use a food processor or a mixer, but doing it by hand means not using electricity.
It'll be pretty thick, so now add some of the reserve liquid (or water) to bring it to desired consistency. Add the spices and garlic, mix them in, then add one tablespoon of lemon juice. Taste test between additions of lemon juice, you may want to add more or less than 2 tablespoons depending on your taste.
Makes a great sammich spread or dip for pita bread and veggies. Enjoy!
