An easy and tasty dip made with homemade pita chips.

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves Garlic, Skin Still On
  • 1 can Chickpeas (15 Oz. Can), Drained
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cups Lemon Juice
  • 5 whole Pitas

Preparation

Place the garlic in a preheated saute pan and heat through. Set aside and remove the skin. Place the rinsed chickpeas, garlic, olive oil, cumin and salt and pepper in a food processor.

I also add tahini to mine (otherwise our recipes are identical). It adds a nutty flavor that makes it really distinctive. Oh, and occasionally I’ll feel a little fiesty and add cayenne.

Susan thanks for comment. That’s true and I’ve made the change.

You might want to add the lemon juice a little at a time through the feed tube, tasting as you add it. Depending on the lemons you use, it can get pretty lemony. It also helps to control the thickness of the hummus.

Delicious & quick! This is the first time I’ve ever made hummus and I love tahini, but it was nice to have a version without it. The fresh garlic and lemon juice were wonderful additions :)

Awesome and easy! I subbed in black beans and garlic powder cause that’s all I had on hand. Still very tasty (I’ll bet it’s much better with the fresh garlic!) My daughter, who swears she doesn’t like hummus, ate it up :-) Thanks!
