After that luxurious hamburger dinner last night, I needed to feel healthy today. I had some leftover corn tortillas and pantry ingredients to make a smoky hummus. The kids love it too!
The bright orange/red Smoked Sweet Paprika is the spice that gives that smoky punch to the hummus.

That’s funny, chickpeas ARE garbanzo beans. Anyway, this was yummy with the smoked paprika, used just a couple of Tbs of EVOO and about 2 cloves of garlic (we love garlic, but 4 would have been a garlicfest). Why buy it when you can make a big batch yourself?
You don’t have to use any oil to make hummus, just use a little juice from the garbanzo beans can, or you can add water.
I bought tahini at my local grocery store. You can make it with 1 cup of sesame seeds processed with olive oil, too. I tried that but had no idea what consistency it should be. The tahini is thick but you can pour it out of the jar.
Must less expensive and good making your own. And you can add whatever seasonings you wish.
I agree with Bobby the K. I use one clove of garlic per can of garbanzos and just that amount gives it quite a bite!

I like hummus and make it from time to time, it’s nice with warmed pita or other flatbreads.
But four cloves of garlic?
Dear Jaden,
I love hummus. I have been buying the pre-made hummus from Trader Joes.
It will be nice to make my own hummus. Where can I buy Tahini paste?
fresh hummus not made from dried garbonzos! maybe manufactured hummus is, but it wouldnt matter because it would be reconstituted with water when made. thats like saying real oj is made from concentrate! and ive always been told garbanzos and chickpeas are the same…
that’s a nice recipe, but REAL hummus is made out of dried garbanzos (or actually chickpeas. same family, different son).
