Hummus Making

I have been making hummus this summer and have tried a couple of recipes. These are tahini free recipes. My children still think I should call Mawmaw Redding for her recipe because hers is always better :)But I know that their Mawmaw rarely uses recipes so I will have to watch in person to see how she does it.

The hummus making all started with VBS and the Mission Trip this summer. We did the Jerusalem Marketplace and tried to have authentic and healthy snacks for the kids. We had a bake shop. Each day the kids got to make unleavened bread and had different spreads to put on it. Most of the kids liked the hummus but most of the adults either wouldn't try it or didn't like it.


Below is the recipe for our favorite so far. If you have a favorite we would love to have it so send it our way.

Roasted Garlic Hummus

1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans
2 tsp. roasted garlic (if you use raw it is a little hotter)
1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tsp or more of Oregano

In a blender or food processor blend beans, garlice, olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano until smooth or the consistency you like. If it is too thick add 1/2 tsp. olive oil.
