Hummus is great to have in the fridge just in case you need a snack. I have a lot of hummus recipes but this is the one I keep coming back to and the family keeps asking for. Don't leave out the serrano pepper...it is perfect for this hummus. —Miriam Borys

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 540 milliliters chick peas ( drained and rinsed well)
  • 3 garlic gloves
  • 1 cup cilantro (washed well)
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts ( I use them out of the jar)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 juice of one lemon or 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup vegetable stock (used to thin done the hummus)
  • 1 serrano pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
Directions
  1. Drain chick peas well. Rinse with cold water in a wire mesh sieve and drain well.
  2. Add all ingredients into the processor except vegetable stock.
  3. Process until large pieces are gone. Scrape the sides of the processor bowl down
  4. Continue to process and add vegetable stock until the hummus is at the desired consistency. This stage and the amount of stock you use is up to you and your personal taste.
  5. Serve with crackers, vegetable sticks for a great appetizer.
  6. Store in the fridge.

Tahini is sesame seed paste.. if you don't have it leave it out.. I use the canned chickpeas and they happen to come in 540ml cans... but use what you have ...that is the beauty of this recipe ...it is adaptable. Thanks for your questions.

Also, does it have to be exactly 540 Chickpeas?

I don't know what "Tahini" is so can I just add some Grey Poupon?
