Introduction
A homemade hummus without tahini to cut back on fat. A homemade hummus without tahini to cut back on fat.Number of Servings: 64
Ingredients
-
2 cans (~16oz each) chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
Olive Oil (~5 tbsp, for consistency)
Garlic, crushed (~4-5 tsp, more or less to taste)
Water (as needed for consistency)
Directions
Try making half the recipe at a time. I dumped both cans of chickpeas in the food processor at once and it took a long time to get everything blended.
Drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly. Empty can into food processor and blend a few seconds to break up chickpeas. Add the olive oil, garlic, and water gradually, to reach the flavor and consistency you prefer. Blend everything well, until hummus is smooth.
Most hummus contains tahini (sesame seed paste) also. This helps the smooth consistency and adds some flavor, but also contributes most of the fat in typical hummus. I didn't use any, but feel free to experiment!
