Delicious Sun Dried Tomato Basil Hummus Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas (canned or freshly cooked)
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves (packed)
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and prepare them by draining the sun-dried tomatoes and mincing the garlic.

    Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better blending.
  2. Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, tahini, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt.

    Start with the wet ingredients at the bottom for optimal blending.
  3. Process Until Smooth

    Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides as needed.

    If the mixture is too thick, add a little water or olive oil to achieve desired consistency.

    For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
