Mangia Monday :: Sundried Tomato Hummus





I'm fairly certain I've mentioned it on the blog before, but I have a mild addiction to hummus. Well if I'm being honest maybe it's a tad more than mild, but you get the gist. I'm obsessed with trying different flavors, with or without tahini, and slathering it on anything remotely appetizing. Like always, if I fall in love with a dish, I have to make my own. For the last 2 months roasted red pepper has been the flavor du jour, and then I stumbled onto some Sundried Tomato Hummus at a friend's house last week.... Let's just say it's so good I had it for breakfast. See what I mean? It's a problem y'all.

8 oil-packed sundried tomatoes
1 can garbanzo beans, drained & rinsed
1 small clove of garlic
2 TB tahini
Juice of 1 lemon
4 TB extra virgin olive oil
1/8 tsp sea salt, to taste
freshly ground pepper, to taste
pinch smoked paprika

1. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a food processor. Add the oil as you blend the ingredients until you get the consistency you desire. Keep in mind, you can always add a little water to thin out the hummus.
2. Now add salt, pepper & the smoked paprika. Stir until combined.
3. Top with a drizzle of evoo, a clove of garlic & sundried tomatoes on top. And serve with pita triangles, tortilla chips and/or veggies like sliced peppers, cucumber, carrots. Enjoy!


Super easy, right? Seriously, make this today. You'll thank me later. Unless of course, you eat so much that you gain a few pounds. In that case, I'm truly sorry. It's addictive I tell 'ya!

So what's your favorite kind or brand of hummus?
What recipe versions are y'all making?

Wishing y'all a happy Monday & a blessed week :)
Mangia Mangia y'all!

Mmmmmm, hummus! I keep saying I'm going to make my own, but I never quite get around to doing it. Your recipe may be the straw that breaks that camel's back!

I have been wanting to try making my own hummas since I got my mini processor last year. Just having trouble narrowing it down to which kind. YOu might have just solved that issue for me.

I'm a hummus addict, but I've never had my own. I think I'm going to have to have Greek tonight!

Homemade hummus is the best! I usually make Ina Garten's recipe. With lemon and lots of garlic. My husband likes it when I add jalepeno and cilantro. I also make a great black bean dip with tomato, cumin and cilantro. Now I want to get my cuisenart out at midnight!

Red pepper hummus is currently my favorite. But I can always get on board with anything that contains sun-dried tomatoes. Hummus without Tahini... how does that turn out? I've only made it once and bought this huge thing of Tahini and ended up tossing it because I wasn't sure how long it would be good for. I haven't made my own since because I don't know much about Tahini and it's shelf life or where I can get a slightly smaller container of it.

Thanks for linking this up. My friend made a spinach hummus today, and it was divine, too.
