Make Your Own Hummus

With a food processor, make a creamy hummus from ingredients always in the SimplyCooking® pantry. Add some herbs for a twist and variety.

hummus

3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided

1 medium onion, diced

2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

1 16 oz. tetra box garbanzo beans, drained

2 Tbsp. sesame seeds (optional)

1/2 lemon, juiced

1" piece of lemon zest

1 tsp. tamari

1/4 tsp. pepper

olive oil

Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a small skillet.  Swirl to coat the bottom.  Add onions and sauté 2 minutes, until they begin to brown.  Add the vinegar and stir.  Cook 2 minutes until the vinegar is evaporated.  Remove from heat.

Place the garbanzo beans and sesame seeds in a food processor bowl.  Whiz until the mixture resembles coarse meal.  Add the onions, lemon juice, lemon zest, tamari and pepper.  Whiz until smooth.  Drizzle in the additional 2 Tbsp. olive oil.  Whiz until there is a creamy consistency, using less or more oil as desired.
