Home-made hummus is soooo much better than store bought! And it’s not as much work as you may think. Make a big batch and it will last all week. Enjoy it with pita chips and fresh veggies for a delicious snack. Or spread it on toasted pita, layered with feta cheese, tomatoes and fresh spinach leaves for an incredible vegetarian sandwich.
Ingredients:
2 (19-oz.) cans garbanzo beans, drained (reserving 1 cup liquid)
2 Tablespoons tahini (sesame-seed paste)
4 fresh garlic cloves
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (good quality)
Directions:
- Place all ingredients, except olive oil, in a food processor and turn on.
- Drizzle olive oil into mixture as it processes.
- Add reserved garbanzo bean liquid until desired consistency.
- Process until smooth, scraping sides occasionally.
- Serve right away, or refrigerate 1 hour to chill.
