I also love pine nuts in hummus, but I was out. I'm a fan of paprika so I usually ad a bit extra.
5-Minute Hummus
Makes 1 1⁄2 cups| Total Time: 05m
Ingredients
* 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
* 1 clove garlic
* 1⁄4 cup olive oil, plus more for serving
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste; optional)
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* kosher salt
* 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Directions
1. In a food processor, puree the chickpeas and garlic with the olive oil, lemon juice, tahini (if using), cumin, and ¾ teaspoon salt until smooth and creamy. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water as necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
2. Transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the paprika before serving.
I think hummus is delicious with pita bread. I, however, can't do many carbs so I often just eat it with a spoon :)
Enjoy!!

I'm definitely making this! Hummus was on my grocery list for this week, but I already have all the stuff for this. Thanks for the recipe! :)
ReplyDeleteI love hummus as well! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI love making hummus. Have you tried the Food Should Taste Good Olive chips? They are so good with humus.
ReplyDeleteOoooh love hummus! I will have to try this! The best hummus I have ever had was at Ella's deli on 11th. You must try it! :)
ReplyDeleteOH YUM... I love hummus too! I tried making it once and it was a complete bust! I'll have to try this recipe!
ReplyDeleteYummy!! I have never made hummus before, but it seems pretty simple.
ReplyDeleteHey Megan, I have PCOS and am on a low-carb diet too. I've been LIVING off of low-carb tortillas. The other night, I sliced one into 8 triangles and broiled it until crispy then I ate them like chips. I sprayed a little cooking spray on them and then put salt and garlic powder on them. For a total of 5 carbs! Then I dipped them in a yummy cream cheese dip (but the hummus would be wonderful too). THe tortillas can be purchased at wal.mart and they are name brand, mission I think. You can buy different sizes. The big ones that are wheat only have 12 total carbs. I buy the fajita size that are smaller and they only have 4 or 5 depending if they are wheat or not. Just thought you might want to know :) I've lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteyummy yummy!! I love making hummus, but I need to get some tahini, I kept doing it grinding my own sesame seeds, not as good! Thanks for the reminder! I've had chickpeas in the pantry waiting to become hummus! :)
ReplyDeleteGREAT RECIPE!
ReplyDeleteYumm! I was planning on making hummus tonight! Definitely going to double this b/c I too can eat it with a spoon!
