Hummus is delicious and versatile, but often high in fat. This hummus is just as appetizing, but without the added oil other recipes call for. Plus, it is super easy and quick.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 1/2 Cup Garbanzo beans/chickpeas (cooked)
  • 1 tablespoon Tahini
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic granules
  • 1/2 Lemon
  • Bowl
  • Spoon
  • Masher
  1. Step 1

    Pour 1 1/2 cups of drained garbanzo beans into a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Add the juice of 1/2 a lemon, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic granules and 1 tablespoon of tahini to the bowl of garbanzo beans.

  3. Step 3

    Stir the ingredients until well combined.

  4. Step 4

    With a masher mash all the beans in the bowl add 1/2 teaspoon of water at a time, as needed, to keep the hummus at a smooth consistency.
    Be careful not to add too much water. Add sparingly.
    (You can use a blender or food processor in place of a masher. Follow the directions the same, instead adding ingredients to the blender or food processor.)

  5. Step 5

    Scoop hummus into a container to serve or store.
    It will keep in the refridgerator for a week.

Tips & Warnings
  • Blend with green or black olive, bellpeppers or eggplant for some yummy variations.
