Transcript:How to Make Hummus Without Tahini

Hi, I'm Stephanie Gallagher for About.com, and today, we're making hummus without tahini. Let's get started.

Ingredients for Making Hummus Without Tahini

For this recipe, you will need:

• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 14 to 16 oz. can chickpeas, drained except for 1/4 cup of the canning liquid - keep that with the chickpeas
• 1/4 cup of freshly-squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. peanut butter - chunky or creamy, it doesn't matter which
• 1-2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• black pepper, to taste

Instructions for How to Make Hummus Without Tahini

Place the garlic in a food processor. Add the chickpeas and the reserved 1/4 cup of liquid. Add the lemon juice, salt and peanut butter. Now cover and process the mixture until it's smooth, but still has a rather thick texture. This is what you're going for. Now transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, and pour the olive oil on top. Crack the black pepper on top, and serve your hummus with pita chips, fresh vegetables or pita bread.

That's all for today. For more great recipes just like this one, join us on the web at About.com
