Hummus is one of my favorite dips, I like it with veggies or chicken, pita bread, cracker cookies, I could probably even eat by itself!
Every time I buy some chickpeas I can't resist but make some hummus. Up until today I would only use dry chickpeas for my dip just because I always felt like reserving some extra chickpeas to make falafel later, this time around I was like, I am gonna use the canned ones, and to be completely honest with you guys, I think that canned chickpeas are the way to go, I still love hummus made of home cooked chickpeas, don't get me wrong, but there's something about the way they preserve the garbanzos in cans I guess? There's something about that I like :D.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (450g) can chickpeas;
  • half of a roasted red bell pepper;
  • 4 roasted garlic cloves;
  • salt and pepper to taste;
  • half tea spoon ground coriander;
  • half teaspoon ground cumin;
  • a pinch of light chili powder;
  • 1 table spoon tahini paste;
  • 50 ml lemon juice;
  • 50 ml extra virgin olive oil.

  • ground turmeric;
  • fresh cilantro (chopped).

Method:

Just like any dip I'd assume this one is extremely easy to make, place all of the ingredients into your food processor and pulse until they turn into a smooth paste.
Top with whatever garnish you please and enjoy! I had some Italian spice flat breads around, they worked :D!

Love anything with roasted bell peppers... hummus sounds amazing! Bookmarked!

It's quite simple and looks delicious :) upvoted and follow

I have made my own also, and the can ones are softer because they are soaked longer and may have other crap in them like salt. I generally just soaked my garbanzos overnight, then changed the water and let them soak some more. I am glad you shared your post!

That is what I used to do, but I wanted to try the canned ones as well. Thanks!

Yummy
Can I have some when anyone tries?

Sure :D

Thank you!

It looks amazingly yammy!
