You guys.

I’ve absolutely LOVED every recipe I’ve made of Liz’s, but I was particularly excited to make her hummus.

And letmetellyou, it did NOT disappoint.

Ultra creamy. Full of flavor. Insanely easy to make.

Trevor and I went *JUUUUUST* a little nuts over this Syrian Hummus Recipe.

And by “just a little nuts”, I mean, we ate an entire bag of pita chips with this hummus in one sitting.

Like.

You guys know when we go out to a restaurant, and I see chips and salsa or nachos on the menu, I WILL 100% order it . . .

I am now that way with hummus.

I’m obsessed and I can’t get enough.

So don’t ask me why I rarely ever make it at home.

Probably because I was waiting for the perfect recipe.

Aka this Syrian Hummus.

Here’s what you’re gonna do:

Into a food processor, throw in chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, salt, tahini, olive oil, water, and cumin <— puree until smooth.

DEVOUR.

It’s crazy how something so simple can be such a flavor bomb.

Serve this hummus with warm pita bread, pita chips, veggies . . . the vessels are essentially endless.

    5 stars I’ve been making this recipe for years and it never disappoints. Store bought hummus can’t even compare. This is so much yummier. The texture and complexity of flavors is extraordinary without all of the odd or questionable ingredients.

    I have yet to try yours yet but I’m going to make it tonight. I’ve been making this one for years and it seems similar to yours except this one says to remove the skins on the chickpeas so it’s very creamy. It also gives some info about hummus in the middle east and how most people buy it from a hummus store rather than make it at home. Interesting stuff. Anyway here it is for comparison. Bon appétit!

      Hope you love it! You can definitely take the skins off in this recipe, I just don’t, because the Vitamix does such a great job of making this smooth and creamy!
