Hummus is a creamy puree of garbanzo beans and tahini (sesame seed paste) seasoned with lemon juice and garlic. It is a popular spread and dip in Greece and throughout the Middle East.
Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons tahini paste
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 (15.5 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
- ¼ cup finely shredded fresh basil
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Place garlic, salt, tahini, and lemon juice into a food processor; process until smooth. Pour in the garbanzo beans and 1/2 cup olive oil; process until smooth again, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Once smooth, add the sun-dried tomatoes, and pulse until they have been chopped to very small pieces and are incorporated into the hummus. Finally, add the basil, and pulse a few times until mixed in.
Step 2
Spread the hummus into a shallow serving dish, and make a few decorative grooves on top. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with paprika before serving.
