Ingredients
-(15-ounce) can Chickpeas, drained and rinsed (reserve the liquid)
-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
-3 garlic cloves
-2 tablespoons well-stirred tahini
-1/4 cup lime juice
-1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Puree all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Add reserved liquid from canned beans, if necessary, to achieve desired consistency.
2. Serve with warm pita bread, tortilla chips, pretzels or fresh veggies.
3. Tip: If you warm the chickpeas in their liquid on the stove for 30 minutes prior to blending, you will get a smoother consistency.
Options to change up the flavor:
-Add avocado, cilantro, ground cumin, jalapenos and red onion for a guacamole hummus.
-Replace chickpeas with black beans and add cumin and ground chiles to season for a black bean hummus.
Recipe makes six servings.
