Homous


I always make humous different every time I make it! I decided to finally write it down as this batch turned out really nice and not too strong.

12 oz cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans) save the bean juice
2 tbsp tahini
1 lemon
3 tbsp flaxseed oil or olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
1/4 cup of chopped onion
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
cayenne to taste
some paprika
salt to taste
bit of chopped parsley

Use a food processor or a hand stick blender and blend the chickpeas, some bean juice if it needs it, tahini, lemon and oil until it's nice and fluffy and smooth. Now add the garlic, onion and spices. Make sure you give it a taste to balance the flavors. Add more lemon or salt if it tastes a bit bland. Add a bit of paprika when you serve as well as some chopped parsley.
