Inspired by my girl K’s creamy smooth hummus, I decided to take a second stab at making my own hummus. I have tried this before, and the result was too healthy tasting. So this time I decided to up the fat. That’s the ticket!!!
Into the blender:
- 1 can of chickpeas (the big one)
- 3/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup plain soy milk
- 5 shakes of sesame seeds and salt (to taste)
OMG. The creamy texture was SO good. If I could have licked the inside of the blender, I would have…I didn’t wanna waste any hummus!
I cut up 4 ww tortillas to dip in the hummus. Kyle and I devoured these…he was QUITE impressed.
It was more creamy than store-bought hummus, which was my goal when I was making it (K inspired, naturally).
Later for dinner I wanted MORE hummus (not surprisingly), but after a day of dipping every carb in the apartment into it, I decided I should prob add some green into the day’s eats. What goes better with hummus than veggies! While rummaging through our nearly empty apartment, I came across the above TJs bag in the pits of the freezer. I don’t even remember when I bought this, but grilled eggplant and zucchini with Italian seasoning sounds good enough. Plus, let’s be real, all I really wanted was something to put hummus on some fiber.
This picture is AFTER I patted the veggies down with a paper towel. It was THAT oily. Normally I wouldn’t be a fan of frozen vegetables with that much oil, but they smelled amazing, so I sucked it up. Literally. It was soooo tasty, especially with my home-made hummus added on top, I had to hold back to not inhale it.
P.S. A special shout out to Courtney, you are so sweet, and your comment made my day. Thanks for reading!!
