I found so many recipes for Homemade Hummus online, but ended up using the one from the Cuisinart Elite Collection Recipe Booklet that came with my 12-cup food processor. I have made a couple of small changes over time as I perfect it so if it looks different than last time you checked that's why!
Makes 2 cups of hummus
Ingredients:
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley
3 cloves garlic
2 cans (15.5oz each) chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
2 tablespoons Tahini Paste (see recipe in blog for homemade paste)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2.5 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
1) Pulse lemon zest, salt, parsley and garlic together in the food processor 5-6 times, scrape the sides of the bowl and repeat.
2) Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape bowl and process again to fully incorporate all ingredients.
*We also added our favorite hot sauce a little at a time to a bit of the hummus for a quick, spicy hummus. We served both with carrots, celery, pita chips and pretzels.
