Hummus



This is a healthy snack that is good with home made pita bread, crackers, or veggies. You can do all sorts of things with Hummus. Roasted Garlic, Roasted Red Pepper, Tomato Basil… Experiment a bit and have fun with it! I give this a 3.5 out of 5

1 Can of Garbanzo Beans (AKA Chickpeas)
1 ½ Tbs Tahini (AKA Sesame Past. You can often find in Asian food places)
1 tsp Lemon Juice
3 Cloves of Garlic
1 ½ Tbs Olive Oil
¼ tsp Cumin
½ tsp salt
(If you like a little heat add some cayenne pepper!)

Drain chickpeas and set aside liquid from can. Combine remaining ingredients in blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. If too thick, add some of the liquid you set aside to get a consistency you like. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl.
Sprinkle with paprika and enjoy!
