How do you make hummus from scratch?
It takes just a few ingredients and a food processor to get restaurant-quality results! You basically, just add garbanzo beans, garlic, lemon, tahini, parsley and seasonings in a food processor, whirl it up, and then slowly add the oil.
TIP: Be sure to rinse the garbanzo beans before using. The canned variety is OK, but they have been sitting in water and sometimes have a weird sliminess to them. So best to give them a good rinse!
What do you serve with hummus?
You can serve some grilled flatbreads, sprinkled with sea salt, is my favorite way to enjoy this easy Hummus Recipe! Or you could also serve it with some raw vegetables as well. It also can be made hours ahead of time, making it ideal for entertaining. Enjoy!
