Simple Garlic Hummus
[blue_heading]Simple Garlic Hummus $0.36 per cup[/blue_heading]
I wanted to make a dead simple hummus recipe today and to even up my game a bit; i’m doing it WITHOUT costly Tahini! If you don’t know; Tahini is a main traditional ingredient when making hummus. All Tahini really is, is ground up sesame seeds made into a paste like texture. It’s quite expensive and I really have no particular taste for it so leaving it out seemed fine to me.
This is so basic it’s practically “HTML” hahaha…the geeks will get that reference ;D I like to make recipes that give you guys a wide open playground of culinary options to add or subtract any additions you might like so it’s something to be proud of. I like my hummus with come baby carrots, spread on a sandwich, with some crackers or if I add peanut butter instead of Tahini as a dessert!
I know there are many other hummus recipes available online so if you choose mine let me know in the comments because I will feel honored to have contributed, really.
- 2 cans garbanzo beans(chickpeas) $1.18
- 2 tbsp olive oil $0.12
- 1/2 cup Water $0.00
- 1 tsp salt $0.03
- 2 tsp(clove) garlic powder $0.04
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes $0.04
- 1 tsp onion powder $0.02
- Rinse and empty your beans into a bowl. Now I decided to remove the skins off of each bean which I heard makes for an extra creamy and smooth texture in the final product but by all means if your impatient or just really don't mind the skins skip this step.
- The aftermath of skinning two cans of beans and 25 minutes later lol.
- Here is my suggestion for seasonings but choose what you want.
- Place beans, oil, seasonings into food processor or blender and add water until you get the consistency you want. Tah Da! Store it in the fridge for up to a week.
