1 Minute Hummus – The real way

by

 hummus

 Need a fast snack that’s super nutritious, delicious and perfect for meat-free Mondays??  Protein and fibre-packed hummus fits the bill, but now we can find convenient prepackaged tubs of it everywhere without ever needing to make it from scratch, which blows my mind since hummus is quicker to whip up than making toast and wins on taste compared to those bland chalky tubs every time.  You only need these essential 5 ingredients, a food processor and a minute or two and you’ve got creamy, lemony hummus that’s perfect as a dip, spread, or condiment but don’t expect it to last too long in your fridge, it sure doesn’t in mine..it’ll get eaten up before you know it!

Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 can (398 ml) chickpeas (* I like Yves Organics, or Eden Organics), drained and rinsed
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 2 tbsp tahini,
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • pinch sea salt
  • 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine 1 can drained and rinsed chickpeas, juice of 2 lemons, 2 tbsp tahini, 2 cloves of garlic and a pinch of sea salt and blitz for 30 seconds.
  2. Everything should be pureed but appear quite thick.
  3. With the processor going, slowly add olive oil to loosen.
  4. Stop and taste, adjust seasonings as desired, usually requiring a touch more lemon or salt if anything.
  5. Reblitz for another 15-30 seconds to combine one last time.
  6. That's it!
  7. Enjoy with your favorite dipping tool, pita bread, carrots, peppers or serve as a condiment at your next bbq!
