Foody Friday: THE Best Hummus

I’m usually inept when it comes to deviating from recipes, but I did exactly that with this greek yogurt and artichoke dip recipe…and what resulted was the creamiest, tastiest hummus I’ve ever tried.

Here’s the recipe:

  • 1 can of chickpeas, drained (I know, BPA is bad news. I didn’t have the patience to soak them, though, and dealing with me when I’m hungry is also bad news).
  • three heaping tablespoons of greek yogurt (for what it’s worth, it was ).
  • 3 artichoke hearts (also canned…I’m an awful person).
  • 3 medium cloves of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of tahini
  • 1 teaspoon of sriracha
  • 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Put it all in a food processor and blend until creamy, but don’t blame me when you finish a whole bag of bagels in 3 days and your pants will no longer button.

Seriously though, I’d love to hear your thoughts/suggestions if you make a batch of your own.

Have a great weekend! Don’t forget to check back Monday for an awesome giveaway. : )

 

*All of the teaspoons/tablespoons are sort of guesses. They’re probably close to accurate, but since I did it to taste I can’t be sure.

    Oooh, I have a bag of frozen, already-cooked chickpeas in my freezer, and I have all of the rest of the ingredients too…this will have to be my treat for the weekend!

    I don’t usually plan ahead enough to soak/cook my own beans either…I buy the Eden Organics ones though, which are BPA free 😀

    This sounds delicious!  I’m definitely going to have to try it :)
