This rich creamy Mediterranean-inspired dip features a lively blend of chickpeas, tahini paste, lemon, garlic and olive oil blended velvety smooth and delicious in a food processor for quick & easy assembly. Serve hummus garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and roasted pepper puree with a generous portion of whole grain rye crackers for indulgent dipping.
"The whole grain rye crackers (made in Israel) really stand up well to this thick, rich hummus recipe," says Food Channel chef Gail Cunningham. "They're the ideal dipping partner here. Their nutty whole grain texture and flavor nicely complements the hummus."
Why Try? It’s so easy! Why not make fresh homemade hummus for your next party or family get-together?
Foodie Byte: This recipe makes a generous portion; freeze or refrigerate extra quantities for later use. For a mellower garlic flavor, roast whole garlic cloves tossed lightly in olive oil in a 300°F oven until tender.
We recommend you serve this hummus with Aunt Berta's Whole Grain Rye Crackers which are made in Israel..
