Whenever I come home from the gym in the evening, I am always starving. Tonight I had a major hummus craving. Up until a few months ago, I was buying store bought hummus. Then I realized store bought hummus is expensive and potentially full of preservatives. I also realized making your own hummus is very easy and so much more flavorful. I have been using this recipe from
Oh She Glows every time I make hummus. The blog and its recipes are AMAZING! One of my favorites for sure.
I was feeling kind of creative tonight and I was inspired by a "white bean hummus" I had over the weekend. With this inspiration, I decided to swap my usual garbanzo beans with cannellini beans in the hummus recipe. The result was a smidge more creaminess, but it still tasted like my favorite hummus. I love hummus with carrots! What's your favorite way to eat hummus?
Ingredients
1 can or 2 cups cooked cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (or garbanzos for traditional hummus)
1 tsp salt, or to taste
2 garlic cloves
1/3 cup tahini
7-8 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 Tbsp water
4-8 drops of Tabasco sauce, to taste
Olive oil, for garnish
Paprika, for garnish
Method
Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until very smooth. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with paprika. Will keep 5 days in the fridge. Enjoy!
