Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (save liquid) or 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained (save liquid)
1 -2 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon tahini (optional, but if you do not use, increase yogurt by 1 TBLS) or 1 tablespoon low-fat peanut butter, if you prefer (optional, but if you do not use, increase yogurt by 1 TBLS)

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (16 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
2 garlic cloves
2 -3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tablespoon plain nonfat yogurt
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients together in food processor.
  • Process until smooth.
  • Serve as a dip for vegetables or as a filling for gyros.
  • For gyros, toppings may include lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, radishes, parsley, olives or feta cheese.

Tips:

  • For the smoothest hummus, use dried chickpeas that have been soaked overnight and cooked until very tender. Canned chickpeas can also be used, but they should be rinsed and drained well before using.
  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender to get the hummus as smooth as possible. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the chickpeas by hand, but it will take a lot longer.
  • Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt to the food processor or blender and process until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add a little bit of water or olive oil until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, garlic, cumin, or salt to taste.
  • Hummus can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

This low-fat Greek hummus recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this classic Mediterranean dish. It's perfect for dipping vegetables, pita bread, or crackers, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps. With its smooth and creamy texture and tangy flavor, this hummus is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
