Easy Homemade Hummus

The Healthy Snack That’s Taking Over the World

This delicious easy homemade Hummus dip or spread is a staple in the Bean’s house. It’s super tasty, and full of protein, fibre and healthy fats. I just can’t get enough of it! Hummus is of Arab origin and it’s a fundamental food in the Middle East. Traditionally, it’s made from chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil with a dust of spices and herbs.

Hummus is also incredibly versatile. You can serve it as a dip with vegetables, pita bread, or crackers. It can be used as a spread on sandwiches or wraps. You can even present it as the main ingredient in burgers or wraps. What’s not to love?

However, If you’ve been following this blog, you’ll know that we try to make every recipe suitable for people with GERD. So, this easy homemade hummus recipe doesn’t include lemon juice and garlic but replaces them with a cheeky little ingredient that makes it unique and flavourful.

If you are looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, this easy homemade hummus is a great option!

Blender
1 Sieve

Ingredients

500 gr Canned chickpeas
2 tbsp Tahini
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
Salt
splash Chickpea water

Instructions

First of all, open your canned chickpeas and drain them, making sure to save the chickpea water they come with as it's an important flavour and texture ingredient. 😊 This water is called Acquafaba and we're gonna add a little at a time to the mixture to reach the perfect creaminess!
Add the drained chickpeas, tahini, nutritional yeast, a couple of spoons of chickpeas water and oil to the blender – add salt to taste. Blend until smooth – if the consistency is still a bit too hard, add another splash of chickpea water to soften the hummus up until you reach your desired consistency.
For an extra punch of flavour, sprinkle with powdered cumin and paprika and it's done! Enjoy your new homemade treat!
