As you
know, I am a fan of making homemade food when I can. I have wanted to make
hummus for a few months already. One of the ingredients in hummus is tahini, which I had bought a few months ago already. For some reason, I never got
around to it until a few weeks ago.
The
ingredients are 1 can of chickpeas, ½ Tbsp parsley, 1 large clove of garlic, ¼ tsp
ground cumin, 3 Tbsp lemon juice, 4 Tbsp water, 4 Tbsp tahini paste, 2 Tbsp
olive oil. I blended these using an immersion blender until they were pretty
smooth, but with a bit of texture remaining from the chickpeas.
Besides
for it being really yummy, it is definitely cheaper to make this at home. A can
of chickpeas is 50 cents, and the container of tahini was about $4.00, and that
will last a while. A small container of hummus from the store often costs around
$4.00.
