Homemade Hummus

Why pay absorbent amounts of money to get hummus when you can make it fresh?  Me mum introduced me to this recipe and it honestly tastes better than store bought hummus.  As long as you have a food processor you're good to go!

Ingredients:
  • 15 oz can Garbanzo beans drained (reserve liquid)
  • 1/2 cup Tahini
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/3 cup Lemon Juice
  • 5 Cloves of Garlic 
  • 1 tsp Cumin 
  • 1 tsp Salt

Directions to roast garlic:
  1. Rub cloves in olive oil (not the Tbsp, that's for later)
  2. Wrap in foil
  3. Bake in oven at 450 ° F for 15 minutes
  4. Remove outer skin

Directions:
  1. Combine all ingredients into processor and process like you've never processed before!
  2. Add reserved liquid to preference, as hummus can get dry without
  3. Sprinkle on some paprika
  4. Eat
  5. Eat more
For a nice variation add 6oz of roasted red peppers

Fun Fact:
A plate of hummus weighing over 11 tons took the prize as the largest dish of hummus in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2010.
