Yum! Sun-dried tomato is my favorite hummas, I've never grief to make it though. I don't have a food processor, you're right. That does need to change. Thanks for sharing!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Leslie! You definitely should get a food processor! Homemade hummus is so much better than store bought, and it costs less, so the initial investment for the food processor will pay for itself in the long run. Not to mention all the other recipes you can make in it. I think my food processor is my second most used appliance next to my Nutribullet.

Should garbanzo beans be drained?
Willow Moon says
Yes, rinse and drain. You can also save the liquid (aquafaba) and use it in recipes.
