Over the past few years, I have grown to LOVE hummus. I put it on almost everything! I will admit, I was nervous about making my own hummus, because I wasn't sure if it would taste anything like the store bought kind.
I followed closely to this recipe, but made a few tweaks of my own.
Ingredients:
1 cup garbanzo beans
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup Sesame King Tahini
2 Tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons basil
I boiled the garbanzo beans, then drained the liquid, but saved it in a separate bowl to add later.
Then, I added the remaining ingredients into the blender, along with the boiled garbanzo beans.
I added the liquid leftover from the garbanzo beans a little at a time, until everything was well blended.
I made it for our women's small group's potluck.
Overall, everyone liked it, but said it was missing something to make it really stand out. A few people said it needed some spiciness to it. One of the girls absolutely LOVED it and said it was her favorite hummus ever.
It was fun to make hummus on my own. I will definitely try it again and see if I can get some more flavors included!
