Sun Dried Tomato Hummus

This fantastic Sun Dried Tomato Hummus tastes like something you would get at a Mediterranean restaurant. I used my favorite Easy Hummus Recipe as a jumping-off point for creating this delicious version. I can’t wait for you to give it a try.

Making hummus is so much easier than you would think. The hardest part is keeping Tahini paste around and fresh lemons. Those two things really make all the difference when it comes to making homemade hummus. If you have a food processor or a good blender, you are minutes away from homemade hummus!

WHAT IS HUMMUS?

Hummus is a Middle Eastern creamy dip made of chickpeas, sesame paste (tahini), olive oil, and other seasonings.

ARE GARBANZO BEANS THE SAME AS CHICKPEAS?

Yes. Chickpeas or garbanzo beans are a type of legume. They have a round-type shape and are beige, which is the most common variety. They are packed full of nutrients like protein and other vitamins and are high in fiber.

what is tahini?

Tahini is a smooth and thick paste made from ground sesame seeds.

can I use dried basil leaves in place of fresh basil?

I recommend using fresh basil for this recipe for the best flavor. However, if you only have dried basil on hand, you can try it, keeping in mind the flavor will be a little different.

The ice-cold water helps to whip the hummus into a creamy texture similar to the consistency of homemade ice cream.

what do you serve with hummus?

It’s served with pita chips, crackers, vegetables, Naan Bread, and even used as a sandwich spread.

HOW SHOULD I STORE THE HUMMUS?

In the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 to 5 days. You can also freeze hummus in an airtight container for up to four months. Make sure to leave a little space at the top of the container because the hummus will expand a little. Pouring a little bit of olive oil on the top will help prevent moisture loss. When ready to use it, thaw the hummus in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. Then stir the dip up to bring all the ingredients back to a creamy texture.
