Hummus

Recipe Source: Sheri's friend and former coworker, Stacy Greene

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.
