Pizza Hummus




 


Ingredients-

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup tomato paste

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

2 to 3 cloves garlic

3 cups canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed, 1/2 cup liquid reserved

1/4 cup tahini

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Kosher salt- to taste


Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomato paste, oregano and basil and cook until slightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer the tomato paste mixture to a food processor. Add the garlic, chickpeas, chickpea liquid, tahini, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt. Puree until smooth and creamy.

I remember when I could pick up a can of chickpeas for 49 cents. This morning at Walmart chickpeas we 78 cents each. Guess it isn't as bad as eggs- 5.22 a dozen!

LOVED this hummus!

  1. This sounds so good. I always look for chick peas on sale. Nothing is the same price anymore. And the amount they are putting in cans and containers are less than they used to be, but the prices are more. The good old days are long gone.
