    Easy homemade hummus with artichoke hearts is delicious, budget friendly, and quick to make

    Artichoke Hummus from Living Well Kitchen @memeinge

    It's clear that I love hummus, and after professing my love of artichokes, I decided that I should put them together and make Artichoke Hummus!

    Like most of my brilliant ideas, this turned out incredible. Easy, tasty, and budget friendly.

    Usually when I make hummus, I skip the tahini paste because it's one more ingredient I have to keep in my kitchen and it can be expensive.

    However, I decided that the rich flavor of tahini would be a great addition to this hummus. So I started the hummus by processing sesame seeds since tahini is just the product of blending sesame seeds until it forms a butter like substance.

    You'll want to do this first since you need the sesame seeds to completely blend. If you have tahini, just skip this step and use 2 tablespoons of tahini in place of the ยผ cup sesame seeds.

    So you'll blend your sesame seeds until it turns into a sesame seed butter; then you'll add your chickpeas, lemon juice, water, olive oil, salt, and cayenne pepper. Process this until it is completely smooth.

    It takes a few minutes, and you may need to add more water or lemon juice to make it blend better.

    Then you'll add in your artichoke hearts. I was using a mini food processor, so I removed about one cup of hummus and added the artichoke hearts in. Then I processed the mixture until the artichoke hearts were incorporated, and I added the reserved hummus back into the food processor to mix everything together. If you have a regular food processor, you can skip this step.

    Ok so it basically took me longer to tell you what to do than it did to actually make it.

    It's a delicious alternative to your typical hummus that will sure to become your new favorite!
