Homemade Hummus

I wasn’t sure this homemade hummus would be that much better then store bought, boy was I wrong! It is so easy and so fresh! 2 cans chickpeas, drained with 2 Tb liquid reserved 4 garlic cloves 1/3 C Tahini 2 lemons, juiced 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt Put all ingredients in blender until combined. Refrigerate overnight for best taste. Garnish with EVOO, pine nuts, and hot sauce. Buy the best Pitas you can find and brush with EVOO and grill or broil. Sprinkle Zaatar or salt when still warm. As I’ve been looking up recipes for these Middle Eastern dishes, I’ve realized they all have the same ingredients. Here is a quick run down in case you’re going grocery shopping today. Tahini Lemons (a lot) EVOO Garlic Parsley Cumin, Paprika, Coriander Mint leaves Pita (All veggies shown in picture, including eggplant)
