See that not-at-all-intimidating assortment of ingredients? Those are all you need to make your very own hummus. In minutes!! For a handful of change!
It doesn't get much easier than this--throw your drained & rinsed beans in the food processor, add a healthy glug of tahini sauce, a few garlic cloves (I ran mine through the garlic press), and flip the switch! My friend Kwame was visiting, and it was definitely a taste-as-you-go sort of thing. I promise you, you cannot mess this up if you taste as you go. We added lemon juice, a bit of olive oil, and a few cranks of freshly ground pepper (which really added a wonderful depth!) and we were ready to snack.
The only thing I'd do differently results from a tip I came upon last week--someone recommended briefly boiling/blanching the beans to remove their hulls. This supposedly gives you a silkier texture. I'll try it next time just for kicks, but this version was super yummy and did not last long. Try it next time you're craving a salty, tangy, satisfying and HEALTHY snack!
