Homemade hummus is easy and cheap!

We’re making this for Super Bowl Sunday.  It’s insanely cheap to make yourself and so good with veggies, chips, pita, or even toast.

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz dried chickpeas, covered with water and soaked overnight
  • juice of 2 large lemons
  • 2/3 cup tahini paste
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • pinch of ground cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Drain chickpeas, place in pot and cover with cold water.  Bring to boil, then simmer for 2 hours, or until very tender.
  2. Drain chickpeas, reserving some liquid, and blend in food processor until smooth.  Gradually add lemon juice and enough of the reserve liquid to form a smooth, thick puree.  Add the remaining ingredients and mix.
  3. Place dip in bowl and refrigerate 2-3 hours before serving (although I like it warm too!)  To serve, mix some paprika and olive oil and drizzle over the top.
