I love hummus.
When I was living in the US, I would regularly buy containers of hummus and plow through them; eating the entire container in one sitting along with some carrots, crackers or whatever else was on hand. It’s super tasty and it’s a relatively healthy snack (or meal!), but it can get pretty expensive if you consume as much as I used to.
I don’t know why it never occurred to me to make my own at home.. although honestly, I wasn’t making much food from scratch back in those days.
Now that I’m living in Warsaw, hummus is a little more difficult to find, but a few shops do carry it. It’s even more expensive here though at about 15zł ($5-ish) for a small container.
Because our apartment here is outfitted with a blender, and because I knew where to locate I decided to start making my own hummus.
For less than the price of one small container, I can make twice as much fresh hummus, plus buy yummy things to eat it with (fresh baked whole grain bread, red bell peppers, and cucumbers). I’ve been doing this just about every day lately. Fresh hummus is so much better than the packaged stuff.. I seriously wish I knew about this years ago.
