I really don't want to fire up the stove on a hot day like this, and hummus seems like a good and healthy snack. I have a KitchenAid mixer with quite a few attachments, like whip and knead. Help? I have no food processoor/blender.

Hummus:
INGREDIENTS
2 cups canned garbanzo beans, drained
1/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch paprika
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
DIRECTIONS
Place the garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, salt and garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl.
Drizzle olive oil over the garbanzo bean mixture. Sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
I don’t think that will work. You need to have a blender or food processor to blend up the ingredients into a smooth paste. The mixer attachments just don’t have the ability to make the beans and such into a smooth paste. You can try it but you will end up with really chunky hummus. Do you have a potato masher? If so use that to first break up the chickpeas and then pour that with your other ingredients into the mixer and whip it up and see if that works.
Put the garbonzo beans in a sealed ziplock bag and smash them with a meat pulverizer; or crush them with a mortar and pestle. Then follow directions for any hummus recipe in your kitchen aid, or simply a bowl and spoon.
It MIGHT work, if you mash it by hand first, and then use the whisk attachment…….
