Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned hominy, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp warm water
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned hominy thoroughly under cold water.
In a food processor, combine the hominy, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and kosher salt.
Pulse the food processor a few times to begin combining the ingredients. Then, process continuously until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
If the hummus is too thick, add the warm water one tablespoon at a time while processing, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or tortilla chips, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
