A classic hummus recipe with some tasty flavor options such as red curry paste, masala, or cumin. Serve with your favorite dippers.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 can chick peas (garbanzo beans), drained
2 tablespoons sesame tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped or minced (or to taste)
3 tablespoons olive oil (as needed)
salt, to taste

OPTIONAL

1 tablespoon red curry paste (or to taste)
1 tablespoon masala (or to taste)
1 teaspoon cumin (or to taste)

For Dipping

cut celery, carrots, or flatbread

directions

Pour the drained chickpeas into a blender or food processor and add the rest of the ingredients. Blend or process until smooth.

cook's notes

Some chickpea brands are "drier" than others (that is, cooked less and therefore the peas are crunchier). Just add more olive oil if you cannot get the dip smooth. I like to add a tablespoon of red curry paste (my secret ingredient) to give my hummus a kick, but again, the amount depends on the hotness of the paste, which differs by brand.

    Instead of using more oil and upping the calorie count use some of the water from the canned beans. Also I've found that if you remove the skins of the beans you'll get smoother hummus.
