Trudy’s Hummus

As regular readers may have guessed, I’m not exactly a spring chicken. At my age (double oh! 7), it takes more effort to entertain guests than it once did. I tend to suggest pot lucks and “easy” recipes. Here’s a delicious example. 

Trudy’s Hummus:

One 19 fl. oz. (540 mL) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 

2 heaping tbsp. (30 mL) tahini

Enough cold water to thin hummus, starting with 2 tbsp. (25 mL) and increasing as desired

Salt, to taste

Purée in a blender. Serve! That’s all there is to it!

Note: Trudy uses a hand blender (aka a “stick blender”) to make this - a great idea! The chickpeas fall to the bottom in a regular blender, leaving lumps and husks.
