Hummus

by Monika October 20, 2016
Hipcooks Hummus Recipe

You can buy pre-made hummus and doctor it up to look lovely and presentable, but why not make it yourself when it is so easy and delicious?

We like to think that this recipe kicks store-bought hummus out of the park, and we hope you agree! Our puré de garbanzos does not use tahini (hummus does) and is clean and light. Sure, you can purchase pre-made hummus and doctor it to look lovely to serve, but making fresh puré de garbanzos is easy and delicious.

 : serves 6 as a Tapas Prep Time: 10 minutes
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat
Rating: 5.0/5
( 1 voted )

Ingredients

1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained
1 garlic clove
juice of 1-2 lemons
a few healthy swirls of olive oil
a handful of parsley, to garnish
a generous sprinkle of Spanish paprika — our favorite is Pimenton De La Vera
you'll also need a food processor or a high-speed blender
To serve, you might like pita bread or chips. Fresh veggies give a healthy crunch.

Instructions

Pop the garbanzos and garlic into the food processor and whizz away. With the motor running, add enough olive oil so that it reaches a nice, smooth consistency.
Add the juice of a lemon, plenty of salt and pepper, and taste. Adjust the seasoning until you've achieved a perfect balance of acidity, creaminess, and saltiness.
To serve, spread the hummus onto a plate and smooth the top. Draw a little swirl, using your spoon or spatula, that creates little magical well, which you can fill with extra olive oil. Sprinkle with Pimenton De La Vera and a Hipcooks-flick of parsley sprinkled on top.
Are you cooking for children? Be sure to check out  Lucia's veggie plate with her own kid-friendly version of hummus, "Yummus" — it'd been a sure-fire winner to every kids we've served it to (lots!)
