Hummus is really good stuff. It's great on crackers, a slice of bread, with veggies, in a sandwich, or simply on its own. It's loaded with protein and is the perfect snack. I love how I can whip up a batch in no time thanks to my awesome Vitamix. Homemade hummus is delicious and guests are always impressed when I serve it.
Artichoke and Garlic Hummus
Yield: 2 cups
Ingredients:
- 1 can garbanzo beans, reserve liquids
- 1/2 c artichoke hearts, drained
- 1/4 c raw sesame seeds
- 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 c lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- salt, to taste
Directions:
- Drain garbanzo beans into a measuring cup and reserve the liquid.
- Place all ingredients and only HALF the reserved liquid into a Vitamix blender or use a food processor.
- Blend 2-3 minutes. If consistency is too thick, add a little more of the reserved liquid. Blend another 1-2 minutes or until ingredients come together with creamy hummus consistency. Do not add too much liquid or hummus will be watery.
Note: The two garlic cloves gives the hummus a nice garlicky, spicy kick. We love garlic and the amount was perfect!
