Basil & Sundried Tomato Hummus

Hummus has to be one of the EASIEST and most nutritious snack foods you can make. This one took me exactly 10min (I used can chickpeas) to make and that's because I had to cut up the sun-dried tomatoes and find a cute bowl!
This one is a "Basil & Sun-dried Tomato Hummus".
Eat it with crackers, pour it into a veggie pasta salad instead of mayo, eat it with chips!! The possibilities are endless folks. There is a basic recipe and then you can make it "gourmet" by adding "fancy" products.

1 can chickpeas or 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (1 large lemon)
1/4 cup tahini or 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds*
1 small garlic clove
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
A pinch of chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt to taste
2 to 3 tablespoons water or aquafaba

Throw everything into the blender and mix until smooth.

For the "Basil and Sundried Tomato" add fresh basil and sundried tomato at the end and pulse to keep chunky. Cut up some tomato and add to the top. You can pour a little olive oil over the top, but you don't have to.


*Tahini is a paste of sesame seeds and olive oil. Here in Barbados, it can be very pricey. I usually have a pack of sesame seeds in the house. You can literally add them to the mixture and blend a little longer. Add a little more olive oil to your mixture.
