How to create this recipe in your classroom:

  1. Grocery shop one to two days before you plan to make the recipe. Suggested supplies are included below.
  2. Before class, prepare your ingredients by rinsing canned chickpeas, toasting your tortilla and chopping vegetables for dipping.
  3. Prepare your classroom by setting all hummus ingredients, measuring cups, spoons and food processor/blender on the “demonstration table” at the front of the room. Create “tasting trays” for each table group with any combination of crackers, tortilla chips or vegetables for students to dip into their hummus.
  4. Follow the recipe as a class. Choose one student volunteer to add the correct amount of each ingredient to the blender/food processer.
  5. Provide each student with approximately two tablespoons of hummus to try. Give each table group a “tasting tray” and allow students to choose what they would like to use to dip into their hummus.

Supplies:

  • Food processor or blender
  • Ingredients for hummus (see below)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small bowls for tasting
  • One plate for each table group (to use as “tasting tray”)
  • Cloths, towels or paper towels
