Homemade hummus with turmeric and roasted garlic




Hi all, today I decided I would make hummus. Hummus, which is made from chick peas is high in protein, contains no cholesterol or saturated fat (unless you add that into your own recipe).

Below is my fast 20min hummus with turmeric and roasted garlic recipe

You will need:
1 can of chick pea (whatever brand you like)
1 medium onion (chopped)
¼ of turmeric
1 ½ lemon (the juice of the lemon)
3 garlic cloves (roast in the oven or toaster oven until lightly brown)
¼ of cayenne pepper
2 tablespoon of olive oil
Sea salt to taste




 Combine chick peas, chopped onion, turmeric, the juice from the lemon, roasted garlic cloves, cayenne pepper, olive oil and sea salt into a blender or food processor. 





I actually had to change to a food processor as the blender wasn't blending well enough.....try what works best for you!



blend until you have a smooth paste




and then, here you go, great tasting healthy homemade hummus that can be eaten with flat bread, in a salad, or your new favorite veggie dip......enjoy!!!!
