Making your own hummus allows you to control the quality of the ingredients, as well as having a healthy, protein rich snack on hands for the kids. Head to Family Fare and grab some fresh spices and extra virgin olive oil to make an extra delicious batch.
2 large cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2-4 cloves garlic, peeled
2-3 TBLS tahini paste
juice and zest of one lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp oregano
1 TBLS fresh parsley
salt and pepper
water
Place all of the ingredients except the water in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until starting to smooth out. Add the water as necessary to thin out the hummus to a very smooth consistency. Check your seasoning, add salt and pepper if needed. Serve with veggies or crackers.
