There is no better way to describe how my family feels about our hummus recipe. My husband and I tweaked the recipe years ago into a taste we really like. It has been the consistent favorite among all our kids including our pickiest eater, our 6 year old. Now, with dairy, soy, nut and egg restrictions, it is our go to meal that gets cheers in our house. The older two love to take it in their school lunches with tortillas chips (we are big fans of Garden of Eatin' Yellow Corn Chips). Ethan, our 1 year old with food issues, loves it spread on his homemade bread since he cannot chew the chips well, yet. It is so easy to pull out the left overs and use them in an "I'm starving" moment. My husband and I love it on a tortilla with spinach leaves, pita bread with cucumbers or as a carrot dip. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 15-ounce cans or 3 1/2 cups cooked Garbanzo Beans, drained
1/4 cup Tahini
1/2 cup Olive Oil
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
2 tsp. Ancho Chili Powder (Paprika will do if you cannot find this item in your store)
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cumin seed, ground to powder*
1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 T. garlic, crushed
Directions:
Place all ingredients in food processor. Blend until smooth. Serve or refrigerate.
*A dedicated coffee grinder for spices works really well. We like our Krups coffee grinder. We have one dedicated to cumin and another for other spices as we've found we use a lot of cumin.
Ratings:
5/5 family members love it
Food Allergy Information:
We searched for a tortilla chip that is organic, not processed in a facility that does dairy, soy, nuts or eggs. We found a few companies but the Garden of Eatin' chips are our favorite. It was difficult to find a wheat tortilla that is "Ethan safe". We finally had to switch to corn tortillas which aren't as yummy with the hummus (so we do pita bread more now). A great corn tortilla is Food for Life's Sprouted Corn Tortillas. Ethan is not able to chew them yet but the rest of us really like them.
Hi Ann! If you go through a lot of canned beans, you might want to check out this post at my blog: http://www.cottonbottommama.com/2012/03/homemade-canned-beans.html
ReplyDeleteI know nobody goes broke buying canned beans, but I found it to be super easy to make these and costs about 1/4 the price. It does add up. Excited to see more of your recipes :)
Fabulous! Garbanzo beans are the only ones we stopped buying in bulk to do ourselves. They just didn't turn out as well as the others. Thanks!
