Introduction

A low calorie home made hummus. I use only a little oil, any type will do, I use whatever is easy in my cabinet - peanut, sesame, or olive. A low calorie home made hummus. I use only a little oil, any type will do, I use whatever is easy in my cabinet - peanut, sesame, or olive.

Ingredients

    3 cups chickpeas (I used 1 1/2 cans to use up what was in my fridge and pantry)
    3 tbs oil (olive, peanut, sesame, or whatever you prefer)
    2 tbs tahini paste
    1 clove garlic
    water, as needed to thin hummus without adding more oil - I may use the water from the canned chickpeas next time.

Directions

Put all put chickpeas into food processor and blend for about 1-2 minutes. Add oil and continue processing. Add garlic and tahini and finish processing until smooth. If too thick, add water. I will try this next time by using the water from the can of chick peas.

Used 1 and 1/2 cans of chickpeas (about 3 cups). I wanted to use my 1/2 can left over so I threw this together.

The 1 clove of fresh garlic may be too garlicky for some people, so you may want to use less garlic or use roasted garlic. I will try it with roasted garlic and update the recipe if needed. :)

Serving Size: 2 tbs per serving, about 48 servings per batch.
