Ingredients
4 15.5 oz (439 g) Garbanzo Beans (chickpeas) drained and washed8 teaspoons creamy natural peanut butter8 Cloves of garlic crushed and minced1 teaspoon sea salt6 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil3.5 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice4 cups of baby spinach washed and rinsedwater from the canned Garbanzo beans as needed.Equipment neededFood processor with bowl of 8 cups or largerSpatulaColanderbowl Other neededSomething to dip the hummus in or spread it on.
Drain the Garbanzo beans into the bowl and set the water aside
Wash the Garbanzo beans under the tap in the Colander
In a large food processor add the Garbanzo Beans, the Peanut Butter, the Salt, the olive oil, the garlic, and the the Lemon Juice and process until smooth.
Run the processor for about 30 seconds at a time and use the spatula to push the mixture down to the blades between times. Do not touch the mixture while the processor is on.
If needed add the water you set aside earlier one tablespoon at a time to get the consistency you desire. Best method is to add a teaspoon and process it into the mixture before adding more. Too little water and the processor cannot blend the ingredients too much and the mixture will be too thin. How much will depend on humidity, elevation and personal taste
Once desired consistency is obtained add the spinach in one small handful at a time. Process each handful before adding another. This will give it the green coloring.
Serve as a dip or spread.
