Very versatile, hummus is really easy to make.
Classic Hummus
2 cans Chickpeas (aka Garbanzo Beans. I used some that I put up last winter ☺️)
2-3 tablespoons Reserved Canning Liquid
1/2 cup Tahini
2-3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
2 cloves Grated Garlic (or very very finely chopped)
1 tablespoon Ground Cumin
1 tablespoon Paprika
2 teaspoons Salt
2 teaspoons Pepper
Drain chickpeas reserving the liquid from the can. (You might need more than above so I save it all)
Place all the ingredients into the bowl of and food processor or blender and pulse until creamy. Have a taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. If it seems too thick add more canning liquid.
Spoon into a container with a lid and store in the fridge. I decorate the top with cumin and paprika. You could also garnish the top with diced olives or artichokes
Not sure how long it stores for because it’s usually gone in a week!
Serve with pita chips or alongside roasted or grilled lamb or chicken.
