Mrs. D Hummus



To all who have had my hummus.. and to those looking for a hummus recipe here you go.

I have had MANY requests for my hummus recipe and I have finally measured out what I put in. I just make it by a little of this and a little of that... but how can I pass it on that way?




  • 2 cans of S & W Garbanzo Beans(drained)


  • with the beans you could get the dry kind and boil them... I would say 1 1/2 Cup of dried beans would do.


  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Minced Garlic (the canned kind)


  • 2 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Juice (the little plastic lemon kind)


  • 1/2 Cup Sour Cream (I also use plain yogurt too)


  • 3/4 teaspoon Salt


  • 1/3 Cup EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)



You need a Food Processor for this dish... I add the first 5 ingredients then blend. After it is well blended as the processor is blending add the EVOO. It will blend in to the perfect consistency. Play around with recipe a little and make it your own. Each time it is a little different.. but now I will stick to this list so that it will be a little more predictable.


Ideas that I've thought about adding...


  • olives


  • roasted red peppers


  • more garlic


...........if you try anything that is a hit make sure to leave me a comment so that I can try it.

Hope you enjoy~ I serve it with tortillas & red peppers for dipping. But that is open for discussion. Crackers are a good staple also.
Store the extra in the fridge and add it to a sandwich or a wrap.

Cool, I had no idea how to make hummus. Thanks.

Stephanie said...

That looks so good! I love hummus on pita bread, but so many recipes call for tahini, which is something I never buy. I'll give this one a try, it looks simple and delicious!
