I don’t know why anyone would ever buy hummus considering how easy it is to make. I made up this batch in less than 5 minutes and most of that was opening a can of garbonzo beans and cutting up the two peppers.
Garden fresh hummus recipe
- 1 12 oz can of garbonzo beans with liquid
- 2 banana peppers
- 1 flower head of garlic (i have fresh but 4 cloves of garlic work just as well
- 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp of tahini (roasted and ground sesame seeds. Tastes good even if you don’t add it)
Add all ingredients including liquid from can of beans into a small food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. And these you have a quick batch of hummus as a dip or I use mine as a spread on sandwiches.
