Ingredients

2 cans chickpeas3/4c water (from the cans of chickpeas, you won't use all of it)2 tbsp tahini (sesame seed paste)1 clove of garlic1 tsp each of salt and pepper1 tsp cayenne1 oz lime juice1 oz lemon juice

Directions

Make sure you have a good blender or big food processor for this recipe. Put everything in the blender but the water. Turn on the blender and gradually add the water until the hummus is the consistency you want it. I like it a little looser than peanut butter. It takes a little practice to find out how you like it. Traditional hummus adds olive oil instead of water to thin the paste, but I can't really tell the difference.

Serve with whole wheat crackers, celery and carrot chips. Makes 16 1.5 oz servings.

Number of Servings: 16
