Hummous (hummus), is the quintessential vegetarian recipe. Vegetarians, vegans and omnivores love it as part of a light meal, appetizer, dip, or sandwich spread.

Hummous is a hugely popular - and versatile - vegetarian snack. The classic version uses tahini with a touch of lemon and garlic, but feel free to dress it up, too. Serve cold or warm.

Classic Hummous Recipe

Ingredients:

Directions:

Use either a hand blender or food processor to make this hummous. Either way, make sure the container has at least a two-cup capacity.

  1. Add about half the chickpeas to the processor or a large bowl and start to blend.
  2. Gradually add in the tahini, lemon juice, and garlic.
  3. Blend until fairly smooth; the volume will reduce slightly. Add the rest of the chickpeas.
  4. Blend until desired consistency is reached. Leave some texture for a sandwich spread, or make a thinner hummous for a dip.
  5. If necessary to prevent sticking, add 1-2 tbsp. water to thin during blending.
  6. Stir in any additions, garnish, and serve!
