Hummus

hummus vegan recipe

Here is my best and easiest Homemade Hummus Recipe. I make this so often I can, is’t a great thing to have in the fridge as it’s so versatile.

This is a great recipe to make in the weekend and keep in the fridge for healthy lunches, salads or snacks throughout the week. This hummus is also super quick to make too!
And if you want the silky, smooth hummus… then just peel those chickpea skins off before adding them to the food processor and be patient. Most of the time I don’t do this because I like both the rough and smooth texture.. But if you have five extra minutes I highly recommend peeling away the chickpea skin and then blend a little extra until you get a smooth and creamy result. You can also make it more creamy by adding a little more water, oil or lemon juice.

I don’t think I know anyone that doesn’t like hummus. This recipe is kind of creamy, but with just a little rough texture – filled with a lot of taste. I’m just in love with the Middle Eastern cuisine and made these homemade flatbreads on the side. Also love dipping crunchy vegetables into it or spreading into open rye sandwiches. So good!

how to make hummus

Delicious, easy and creamy hummus:

This recipe is made with 2 x 400g drained chickpeas and gives a pretty big portion. Always remember a lot of taste to the big amount of chickpeas and add a little more lemon, paprika or garlic if needed. Always be generous with the salt too.

You can also add some cooked beetroot in the recipe too! Beetroots actually become one of my favorite veggies. I love their colors and their taste – so naturally too. You just take this base hummus recipe and add some in roasted/cooked beets and maybe a little roasted garlic (if you don’t want the garlic just omit it). Nothing too fancy or too crazy in flavor, but still completely beautiful and yummy.

Ingredients: Chickpeas, garlic, tahini, oil, lemon, ground cumin, paprika, salt and pepper – and fresh parsley for decoration. Simply place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Here is the finish result served with homebaked flatbreads. So delicious ↑
