| With few ingredients, why spend a lot of money when a buck will get you a BIG serving of tasty hummus? |
One of the friends of the sister blog (vantrekker.blogspot.com) left a comment and asked about making hummus with an immersion blender. I tried last night and liked the results. The first batch was a little thin so let me make a couple of suggestions...
Don't use all of the bean liquid. Reserve some and add into the hummus as needed.
- Use a DEEP container. I had bits of chickpeas on me, the walls, the bed, etc. in the camper van as a result of the blending process. I'd recommend using something like a malt cup.
- This one is a little bit difficult to blend. It will take you a while to mix or you can always blend it in batches and combine them.
Easy Camper's Hummus
1 can of chickpeas (reserving liquid)
2 teaspoons of your favorite olive oil
2 teaspoons of cumin
1 teaspoon of hot pepper oil (optional, of course!)
Hot pepper flakes (if desired)
Fresh ground pepper (if desired)
Reserve the bean liquid. Place the chickpeas and oil(s) into a container for blending. Start the blending process, adding in the bean liquid to achieve the desired texture. Add the spices, too. I like using a little hot oil for extra flavor. This is a fairly bland product, so season, season, season!
Have fun!
