Sun Dried Tomato Hummus Recipe

By Jolinda Hackett, About.com

Adding sun-dried tomatoes to a homemade hummus recipe adds a bit of texture and color, and a whole lot of flavor. Making homemade hummus is so easy - just dump everything in the blender or food processor, and process until it's smooth. Hummus is a naturally vegetarian and vegan food.

Ingredients:

  • 1 15 ounce can chickpeas, drained (garbanzo beans)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil or rehydrated
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Preparation:

Process all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth, adding more liquid if needed. That's it! Enjoy your homemade hummus.

If you prefer, you can also add the sun-dried tomatoes last, and process the hummus until the tomatoes are finely diced rather than completely smooth. This will give your hummus a bit of extra texture, if you prefer.
