I have a thing for hummus.
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Edamame Hummus, and Spinach & Avocado Hummus are a few I've done in the past.
If you haven't yet made the roasted garlic I posted yesterday, then this should definitely make you want to get in your kitchen and start roasting.
Roasted Garlic Hummus...
Quite possibly my new favorite hummus flavor.
This hummus is delicious served as a dip or an appetizer

1/2 tsp salt!? It's unnecessary, Canned chickpeas already contain significant amount of salt. Flavour should be just right without and it, the dish will then remain on the healthy side.
Cheers

I typically buy the no-salt-added or reduced-sodium chickpeas. I updated the ingredients to reflect that. Also, draining and rinsing the chickpeas very well before using can help decrease the amount of sodium by almost 40%. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

I like to cook my own chick peas and use the cooking liquid instead of water to cream up the mixture. I read, and I think it works, to process your humus with warm chick peas. For some reason, the texture is creamier.
Meme says
That's great! It's definitely ideal to cook your own chickpeas because you can cut back on excess sodium {and occasionally other ingredients} added in canned chickpeas. It's a good idea to soak the beans and change the soaking liquid a few times before cooking them because it helps with digestion of the chickpeas {and other beans}. But the addition of the starchy cooking liquid and using warm chickpeas are great ideas to help increase the creaminess!
Sue says
Is there a particular reason you make your hummus without tahini? I'm just wondering
Meme says
No reason other than I don't have it at home since it's on the more expensive end of ingredients. I do think hummus tastes better with it, of course, but it is usually not in my food budget. Hope that helps!
