Hayat's family is Jordanian and her mom shared their traditional hummus recipe with us. The ingredients are fairly standard, but the exact amounts of salt, garlic, and lemon juice you add are up to you!
Basic Hummus
Ingredients:
1 15 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
1/4 cup liquid from can of chickpeas
4 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on personal preference)
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
2 cloves garlic, crushed (depending on personal preference)
1/2 teaspoon salt (depending on personal preference)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Hayat's mom likes to add up to 1 tsp of cumin and a pinch of sumac to spice up the recipe :)

(You're going to need a food processor for this!)
Separate the chickpeas from the liquid using a colander. Save 1/4 cup of liquid and discard the rest. Blend all ingredients in a food processor for around 4 minutes. When serving the hummus, make a small well in the center and fill it with olive oil for a fun, tasty look :)
Pita Chips
Ingredients:
Pita sliced into 8 wedges (16oz)
1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/4 Teaspoon seasoning of your choice (ras el hanout is more traditional, a Northern African spice blend)
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions:
Heat oven to 400 F. Combine salt and other spices in a small bowl. Place pita wedges on baking sheet and brush the tops of them with the olive oil. Sprinkle the tops with half of the salt mixture. Flip the wedges and repeat with the rest of the olive oil and salt mixture. Bake until the chips are golden and crispy--12 to 15 minutes depending on your oven. Once done baking, remove from baking sheet and automatically transfer onto a wire rack.
Enjoy!!! :)
We loved this recipe because it is absolutely delicious and such an easy make--but noboday has to know that! Eat up, readers! And thanks for checking in with us today.
