Description
A delightfully easy hummus recipe that screams of fresh lemon juice and zesty garlic!
Ingredients
- 15 ounces, weight Canned Chickpeas, Strained And Lightly Rinsed
- ½ Lemon, Juiced
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 5 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 5 Fresh Basil Leaves, Chopped
Preparation
1. Combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic cloves and a few (not all) tablespoons of olive oil in a medium bowl.
2. Using a immersion blender (if you don’t have one, combine the ingredients in a food processor instead), blend until combined. Add more olive oil to achieve the creaminess/consistency that you like. For me, that was about 5 tablespoons.
3. Scoop hummus out of the bowl into a serving platter and garnish with basil. Enjoy with pretzel flats, veggies or pita bread.
