Quick and easy hummus topped with spicy chick peas

Hummus is so simple to make, all you basically do is combine all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Once you start making your own hummus dip, you will never buy store bought ever again. Their are a variety of ways you can enjoy hummus, you can eat it as dip, in your wraps or even in your salad. I know it may sound strange but it is actually really good.

All you need to make hummus is boiled chickpeas (garbanzo beans), Tahini sauce, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, a few spices for season and parsley. After that just throw everything in you blender and enjoy!

For this Hummus dish, I used my Simple Hummus Recipe and topped it off with spicy Chickpeas that I sautéed with Olive oil and a few spices. It is so simple and easy to make and full of incredible flavors you sure will love.

Tip 1 : Be very gentle with the salt. taste as you go, if you are going to enjoy your hummus as a dip with chips, you do not want it to be over salty.

Tip 2 : you can boil the chickpeas, and remove the skin to get a smoother hummus.

Tip 3 : you might need extra olive oil, so just add more if needed to get the desired texture.
