5-Minute Hummus

Very easy, I had to make my own Tahini but that was easy too. I added some sriracha after the chick peas were paste and went around again for a minute in the food processor and it came out delicious.

Seems like this is an easy recipe, can't wait to give it a try.

http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/usda/hummus?portionid=37734&portionamount=0.500 That site at the URL above gives 1/2 cup as a serving size and they offer that there is 218 calories in a 1/2 cup of Hummus.,

I replaced the olive oil with 2 T. Greek yogurt, used about 1 T. mashed roasted garlic instead of fresh garlic (avoiding heartburn!), and replaced the spices and salt with 1 T. Gourmet Gardens Morrocan herbs. We keep it around all the time. Great on crackers, sandwiches, and as a dip for veggies.

I make this quite often, sometimes adding some roasted red pepper. My family won't eat premade hummus anymore - only this recipe!

A can of garbanzos is 420 calories, 4 tablespoons olive oil is another 480 (depending on type)...the rest of the ingredients are neglible for calories..so the hummus is about 900 calories if you don't drizzle more olive oil on top. I throw in about 3 tablespoons sesame seeds instead of tahini but I do not have the nutritional info for them.

Made this to spec, and it was incredible. Posted to my FB page as well. Really is Real Simple and you can make it anytime. A thousand thanks!!!

Does anyone know how much = a serving? The recipe says it makes 1.5 cups and the nutritional information indicates that it is 145 calories per serving. . .but nowhere do I see how many servings the recipe makes or what a serving size is. Thanks!

This such a simple recipe to make anytime. We loved it, but didn't use the tahini [don't like the taste]. Next time will add sundried tomatoes.

Made this tonight for the first time--by far, the tastiest (and easiest!) hummus recipe I've tried so far. I did cut back the cumin to 2/3 t. If you're going to make this for a party, double or triple the recipe, as the original version does not make very much. However, it's fantastic!
