Hummus - Mel's low(er) fat version
- Minutes to Prepare:
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 15.5 ounce can chick peas (garbanzo beans)1 tablespoon tahini1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil1 tablespoon lemon juice (this was all I had, usually would have used more like 2-3 tablespoons)1-3 cloves garlic, more or less to taste1 teaspoon ground cumin, more or less to tastesalt to tastewater as needed, start with a tablespoon
1. Drain and rinse chick peas.
2. Place all ingredients into the work bowl of food processor.
3. Pulse to blend and form a smooth paste, adding water to achieve the desired consistency (some prefer a firmer "paste" texture, others prefer a smoother "dip" texture).
4. Transfer hummus to a food container and refrigerate for at least an hour (up to overnight). This gives the flavors time to marry!
This makes about 1-1/2 cups of hummus, so you'd get about 6 1/4-cup servings from the batch.
Hummus may be served cold or at room temperature. Enjoy it with crudites, pita bread, crackers, or use as a sandwich spread!
