Sheri sent me this recipe for hummus a long time ago and I finally got around to trying it. It is DELICIOUS!!!


HUMMUS

Yield: about 4 cups

Ingredients: 

2-16 oz cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed (regular or low-sodium)

1 clove garlic, peeled

1/3 cup tahini*

1 tsp salt (regular or seasoned salt both good)

Juice of 1 lemon

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (adjust amount to liking)

1 handful parsley

3-4 green onions, cut into 1" pieces

Water, as needed (about 1/3 cup)

Directions: 

Place all ingredients in food processor or blender.

Add water as needed to form smooth paste.

Adjust seasonings to taste.

To serve: 

Garnish with chopped peppers, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or minced garlic.

This is good served with fresh vegetables, pita triangles, or a sandwich spread.  It's tasty with peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and broccoli.

*Tahini is a smooth paste made from sesame seeds.  It is usually found by the peanut butter in the grocery store.
