Origins of Hummus
Like many foods, the exact origin of hummus is debated. But it’s believed that the first recipes appeared in 13th-century cookbooks (source). Hummus is an Arabic word that simply means “chickpeas.” And chickpeas have been grown in the Middle East and India for thousands of years. Hummus bi tahini (often referred to simply as “hummus”) is made with chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and lemon. It’s a common dish in Turkish, Lebanese, Syrian, and Egyptian cuisine, among others. And it’s gained popularity throughout the world. Our green goddess version keeps the traditional ingredients and adds herbs for fresh, zesty flavor!
How to Make Green Goddess Hummus
Firstly, our green goddess hummus needs…GREEN! After some trial and error, we determined the best method is to blend the fresh herbs with the other liquid ingredients (lemon juice, olive oil, and water). SO vibrant! While we blend up our herbs, the chickpeas and garlic take a trip to the spa (a.k.a. the microwave…or a saucepan!) to soften and remove some of the sharp garlic flavor. Then we add them to the blender with tahini for classic richness. Lastly, salt joins the blender party for obvious reasons (deliciousness!). At last! The thick, creamy, and oh-so herby hummus is ready. YAY. But who’s got the crackers?! We hope you LOVE this green goddess hummus! It’s:CreamyHerbyGarlickyVibrantQuick & easy& SO snack-able!
