The other day... I had a hummus craving, so I bought the roasted garlic hummus from Trader Joe's. Even though it was quite delicious and addicting, I couldn't help but fantasize about freshly made hummus... mmmmmm.
I thought to myself... "Tomorrow I am going to make homemade, fresh, and custom hummus!"
For whatever reason, I've been wanting to find ways to use cumin. (Don't ask me why! Because I do not know...)
Anyways, I thought to myself "Is there such thing as cumin hummus, I mean, would that combination even work?" So I googled "cumin hummus"... and apparently there is such a thing. But even if there wasn't, I would probably try it anyways. :)
Here is what I came up with! It is purely delicious... and can obviously be customized in many ways.I am excited to experiment with variations of spices!

-1 c. chickpeas
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-1 clove garlic
-1 tablespoon tahini
-1/8 teaspoon sea salt
-1 teaspoon cumin
-1 tablespoon lemon juice
There is no comparison when it comes to hummus. Homemade wins in terms of taste, ingredients, freshness, and saving $!
Do you enjoy store-bought or homemade?
ooo i've made an artichoke garlic one and it was sooo good. So i def prefer homemade but i find myself being lazy some day. lol love it.... i can't wait to try your cumin version.
