Smooth Dave Hummus

SmoothDaveHamm, this hummus is just for you! It’s basic but delicious. If you have extra the time to cook your own garbanzo beans, I would highly recommend it, but if not no worries. I hope you enjoy.

INGREDIENTS


Start to Finish: 10 minutes

• 4 tbsp tahini paste

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2–4 garlic cloves, smashed

• 4 lemons, juiced (about ½ cup)

• 2 cups garbanzo beans (if using canned beans, rinse well and drain)

• ¼ cup water

• ½ tsp garlic salt

• ½ tsp pepper

• zest of 1 lemon, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine tahini paste, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice into a food processor. Blend together well.

2. Add in garbanzo beans, water, garlic salt, pepper and lemon zest. Blend until hummus is a smooth consistency (2–3 minutes).

3. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

4. Drizzle with extra olive oil, parsley and serve.

note: you can add a bit of water, or more olive oil if the hummus seems too thick; if it isn’t thick enough add a few more beans until you reach your desired consistency
