5-minute homemade Hummus



Recommended Posts

New recipe on my blog with pictures here: http://sleevers.wordpress.com/2013/09/09/5-minute-hummus/

Make this and tell me how it’s any faster to get this at the store. By the time you walk into the store, put it in your cart, pay for it…I’ll have eaten half the homemade hummus icon_smile.gif?m=1129645325g

Ingredients

1 15.5 oz can of chickpeas/garbanzo Beans, reserve 1/4 c of the liquid

3-4 cloves of peeled garlic

1/4 c tahini (sesame paste)*

1 tsp salt

Juice of 1 fresh lemon

Optional Garnish

Ground Paprika

1/4 c toasted pine nuts (put into a small pan and toast over low-medium heat until they turn light brown)

2 tbsp chopped italian parsley (I didn’t use it this time)

1 tbsp good quality olive oil

Method

1. Place all ingredients except garnish in the bowl of a food processor or blender.

2. Process until smooth.

3. Pour into bowl and decorate with garnish ingredients.

4. There is no fourth step. Didn’t I tell you it was very simple?

Serve with pita chips, or fresh vegetables such as celery, cucumbers, carrots, red or green peppers.

Sounds delicious. Question, does that much garlic overpower the hummus?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
