Creamy Hummus

I honestly have to give credit to the Once Again company that makes my favorite tahini. I found this recipe on the back of the tahini jar and fell in love with it.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Once Again Organic Tahini
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped Italian parsley or lemon balm
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked or canned chick peas, drained

Instructions

  • Put ingredients in a blender or food processor.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Place in an airtight container and refrigerate.
    • Add an extra drizzle of olive oil if needed for your desired consistency.
    This recipe makes a lot of hummus at approximately 3 cups of hummus (24 servings at 2 tablespoons each serving.) This recipe is easy to halve.

Tips and Variations

  • Try adding a small amount, about 1/4 cup of roasted red peppers for a delicious savory hummus. 
  • Try using the lemon balm instead of Italian parsley. Both are good, but fresh lemon balm from the summer garden is my absolute favorite.
  • Sprinkle smoked paprika on top.
  • Use within 3 - 5 days.
