Rosemary adds a Mediterranean accent to this version of hummus made fast and easy in a food processor combining garbanzo beans, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and a hint of garlic.

  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 2 (15.5 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • salt and pepper to taste
 
  1. Strip rosemary leaves from stems, discard stems, and place leaves in the bowl of a food processor. Add garlic and pulse until finely chopped. Pour in the garbanzo beans; process until evenly blended.
  2. With food processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil, scraping sides of the bowl as necessary. Pour in balsamic vinegar and process until evenly blended. Taste, and add more vinegar, 1 tablespoon at a time, as desired. Pour in the water and process to make a spreadable consistency. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill before serving.

This has a nice taste - I think it would make an incredible spread on a sandwich with some roasted vegis and maybe feta. However, because it doesn't have the tahini in it, the consistency isn't that great, so I don't love it as a dip.

This is awesome, I added a commercial lime/vinegar dressing instead of the water and half of the olive oil. Will make it again....soon

This hummus is wonderful and flavorful! Not your average hummus! I served it at dinner with my extended family, and the people that eat hummus regularly raved about it. The people new to hummus found it a bit strange. (Amateurs!) The balsamic flavor was a little too strong, so I will add less to begin with next time and then add it 1 tsp at a time until it reaches the strength I want.
