I’ve always wanted to learn how to make Hummus. It’s is one of those amazing foods that you can never grow tired of. Kind of like my favorite warm spinach bacon cheese dip! Hummus tastes amazing alone or mixed together with delicious toppings like olives, peppers and whatever else your heart desires. I’ve been buying hummus for years now and never really thought that it would be so simple to make at home. Well, it is.
Classic Hummus Recipe
My friends from Ninja® sent me this really cool new gadget, the Ninja® Intelli-Sense™ Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer™, and I’ve been playing with this amazing new contraption for the past week. We’ve been whipping up all sorts of delicious recipes here in the Mom Luck household but one of my favorites that we’ve made is homemade hummus. You guys, it is SO EASY TO MAKE! You just have to have the right equipment. That’s where the Ninja Intelli-Sense Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer comes in.
How to Make Hummus From Scratch
So you’ve come to this post to learn how to make hummus. So let’s do this! First you’re going to need a few important ingredients which I’ve listed for you below. All of these ingredients can be found at your local grocery store including the Tahini. Now the tahini is a sesame seed paste so look by your almond butters, peanut butters, extra. That’s where I found mine.
Ingredients Need To Make Hummus:
- 2 15 oz Cans of Garbonza beans Drained (Reserve 3/4 cup liquid)
- 3/4 Cup Reserved Liquid from Beans
- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Tahini
- 1 tsp chopped garlic cloves
- 1 tsp salt
- pinch of pepper
Now that you have all of your ingredients, now it’s time for the fun part. Making the Hummus. That’s where the Ninja Intelli-Sense Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer comes into play.
Ninja Intelli-Sense Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer
I have owned a couple of different Ninja® products but the The Ninja Intelli-Sense Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer is by far my new favorite kitchen toy. With the the blender you get one smart base that transforms into four high-performance appliances: 72 oz. Total Crushing® Blender, 64 oz. Precision Processor™, 24 oz. Single-Serve Cup, and Auto-Spiralizer. That means less kitchen clutter because this blender does the work of 4 popular kitchen appliances. Some other features of the Ninja Intelli-Sense Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer that I LOVE include the:
- Smart Vessel Recognition: In a snap, Ninja’s Smart Vessel Recognition Technology automatically senses which vessel is attached to the base and the touchscreen changes to display a customized menu of Smart Programs on the touchscreen, enabling one Smart Base to become four high-performance appliances.
- 12 Smart Programs: Chef-designed automatic recipe creations deliver optimal results every time. Precisely calibrated patterns of pulsing and pausing combined with ideal speed, power and torque for each attachment create everything from fresh salsa and pizza dough to margaritas and decadent ice creams—all it takes is a simple tap.
- Intuitive Touchscreen: The sleek, flat screen responds to your touch and lets you select between vessel-specific Smart Programs and manual options. And the durable, easy-to-clean screen stands up to everyday kitchen wear and tear.
Classic Hummus Recipe
To make this hummus you will need the Precision Processor bowl. Remove the lid and pour in the garbonza beans, bean liquid, lemon juice, olive oil, tahini, salt, pepper and garlic. Hit the food processor button and let the blender do all the work. It takes about 90 seconds to completely combine everything but the Ninja Intelli-Sense Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer does a great job of doing that.
