This hummus recipe is simple, and it leaves a lot of room for personal taste. I love garlicky hummus, and with a kick of lemon juice? SO good. This simple hummus does not bother with tahini, oh no. Tahini is expensive, and I don't know that I'd use it enough to justify the cost.
How easy is this recipe? So easy.
My ingredients:
Can of chick peas (YES! Canned. I'm not joking around about the "simple" thing.)
Clove of garlic, minced (I just pressed it through my garlic press)
Scant ½ teaspoon ground cumin
A few cranks of fresh ground pepper
Pinch of kosher salt
Juice of one lemon
You see, this is all very scientific and precise.
I make this with an immersion blender. You can use a blender, a food processor, or (my mother's preferred method!) a potato masher. If you go the masher route, my mother says the key is to use a tall, cylindrical container, like the tall quart Ziploc containers.
Drain and rinse chick peas and dump into your container o' mixing. Add ingredients.
Mash that business up.
Phase three: Hummus!
It really is as simple as that. I haven't added things like roasted red pepper yet, but the next time I roast peppers, I plan to!
