Classic Hummus
Hummus is a Mediterranean favorite that can be used as a dip, spread, or side dish. It’s incredibly easy to make and much fresher than store-bought versions.
Ingredients:
1 can (400g/14 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp tahini (sesame seed paste)
2 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ tsp ground cumin
Water as needed (2-4 tbsp)
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Combine chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor or blender.
Blend until smooth, adding water a tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
Why it works anywhere:
Canned chickpeas and tahini are widely available in supermarkets, and the rest of the ingredients are kitchen staples
