Hummus for all! Pass the Pita Chips! (Recipe Request)

  • 1- 540ml can chickpeas
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (or more if you like, taste test lots)
  • About 1/3 cup grape seed oil (maybe more)
  • seas salt to taste
  • 4 fresh garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • generous sprinkle of paprika
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  1. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas and put in a blender.
  2. Add the tahini and the lemon juice then start to mix.
  3. This part is kinda up to you but I find the secret to a yummy hummus is one that isn’t too dry so you need to add grape seed oil as you need it. Mix more, test for how smooth it is and if it is still too dry add more oil.
  4. Once it is starting to get smooth add the salt and well chopped garlic.
  5. Once smooth scoop out into a bowl and give it a good mix with a spatula to make sure the spices got all spread around (it is so thick some blenders have a hard time).
  6. Top with a little olive oil poured over then sprinkle with paprika and cover generously with fresh cilantro that has been finely chopped.

We love this with pita chips but it is a great dip for fresh veggies too.
