Hummus in a blender

Hummus in a blender...ok, so if you are following for a while, you are probably thinking I am obsessed with my blender! 

Fear not!

I am going to show you how yummy yet simple it is to make hummus!

I start with 1lb of dry chickpeas. Cook it in water for 1 1/2 hours, no salt, and they are ready for this!

I use 1/2 of it for my batch (2 cups cooked). and freeze the rest until the next time.

HUMMUS

Ingredients:

    * 2 cups cooked chickpeas

    * 3-4 cloves of garlic

    * 2 T toasted sesame seeds (or tahini)

    * 1/2 lemon

    *  extra virgin olive oil or canola oil

    * salt to taste 

Start by blending the sesame seeds 

in the blender or food processor

(it's like a sand storm in a blender)

then add the fresh garlic

...give it a quick pulse,

and finally add the chickpeas and slowly add 1/2 cup of olive oil

 If you need more moisture but don’t want to up the oil content, a bit of water will do the trick. Taste your creation and adjust the salt and lemon to taste.

 Add a good extra virgin olive oil on top as a garnish. 

***If you’re in the mood for flavored hummus, throw in the blender some roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, rosemary or parsley***

Cost of 2 cups of hummus

less than $2!
