This homemade hummus is my ‘magical fix’ when guests show up unexpectedly.
I always have a can of chickpeas in the cupboard, some garlic and lemon.
I mix all the ingredients together in a blender and within seconds the humus dip is made.
I also keep a supply of baguette in the freezer for such occasions, however it is best to serve it with toasted pita bread, or as a bruschetta topping.
To make this recipe you only need a blender and I use Multi Braun and this is my review. (affiliate link below)

I so love hummus! I love that Braun mixer! I made it with homemade tahini and one time and it was too strong! I’m am going to try your recipe without!
Actually Beth, I heard a lot about this tahini in the humus and I wouldn t mind to try I jut need to look for it at the supermarket…if I remember lol
I love hummus and this version looks great! I once found tahini in France but it was very fluid and oily. I prefer to add just a few drops of sesame oil instead. Love the idea of using the hand blender too!
Ah, I keep forgetting to look for this Tahini. I need to try it if I can find it
Mmmm! Love hummus, such a delicious spread and whipped in no time! Yours looks scrumptious, will try and make it for my next gathering 🙂
thank you Patty
