Hummus


One of Carly's favorite recipes that she learned from her family is her homemade hummus. Her family has been making their own hummus for as long as she can remember. Hummus is incredibly easy to make and much cheaper and healthier than buying hummus from a store. Combine this healthy, tasty snack with Carly's added tips and you can create many different versions of hummus that are customized to your taste preferences!


Ingredients:
Garbanzo beans (canned)
Tahini
Lemon juice (check to make sure the juice is 100% from lemons)
Garlic
Salt
Sumac or paprika (for top of served hummus)


Boil garbanzo beans until most of the skins of the beans fall off (approximately 1-2 hours). This step is not necessary; boiling the skins just gives the hummus a much smoother texture.

Place all ingredients in your food processor. Finish blending when the hummus is at your desired texture. Change amounts of ingredients depending on desired taste.

Sprinkle sumac or paprika on top of finished bowl of hummus. Garnish/mix in any ingredients you especially enjoy!
