Often I’d buy hummus in the store, but until recently didn’t realize how easy and inexpensive it can be to make it myself. This recipe is gluten-free, rich in protein and fiber and is delicious served with raw veggies such as celery, carrots, or sliced bell peppers. It can also be used as a spread. Enjoy!
In a blender or food processor, puree the following ingredients until smooth:
1 14 oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained
3 tbs. sesame tahini
2 tbs. lemon juice
2 cloves of chopped garlic
1/2 tsp. turmeric or curry powder
1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
1/4 tsp. celtic salt or other sea salt
Transfer hummus to a serving container. Drizzle with olive oil before serving. Makes approximately 2 cups of hummus.
