Recipe: Homemade Hummus

Click here to view these pictures larger

I love Hummus. But what I don’t like about it is that store bought Hummus is the sodium content. And now that we have become a gluten-free household due to my Celiac’s Disease, I prefer to make everything myself if possible. My daughter loves to cook and I try to get her in the kitchen with me as much as possible. However, she is scared of fire (smart girl) so usually she only cooks with me when I am making juice, smoothies, or pasta (which will now be gluten free). I decided to include her when I made Hummus and Applesauce (pictures coming later).

Basic Hummus Recipe

  • 1 Large Can of Chick Peas (you can use dry but you’d have to cook them first)
  • 1 Large Onion
  • 4 cloves of Garlic

Blend everything together in a blender or food processer. Don ‘t overblend- should be somewhat thick. Try experimenting with roasted peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, etc.

Serve with crackers, carrots, celery, or any of your favorite veggies. It was a hit with Cluten free crackers and Baby Carrots.
