Brace yourself...hummus is taking this country by storm, one food blog at a time. For centuries hummus has been a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine, and now the rest of the world is getting in on the delicious trend.
How to Make Easy Homemade Hummus with Feast in the Middle East
This weekend, I jumped on the hummus bandwagon and finally learned how to make some myself.
After picking up a couple ingredients from the local store, I was ready to go. While I’m normally hesitant to make anything more complicated than toast, this recipe was simple, tasty, and only took about 5 minutes to make!
Tips & Tricks:
- If you don’t have a food processor, try a blender instead. I used a magic bullet and the hummus turned out great.
- Like Blanche suggests, adjust the ingredients until you find a recipe you love. I liked mine with a little extra garlic!
- Spice up traditional hummus by adding in different ingredients. Use red peppers to add a little kick, or avocado to make it extra smooth.
- Hummus is much more than just a dip - try it as a sandwich spread, or as an alternative to cream cheese or butter
Blanche's homemade hummus was such a hit with my roommates, we even ate it for breakfast the next morning.
Have fun and happy cooking!
