Hummus
2 cloves garlic—roughly
chopped
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup water
14 oz (400g) canned chickpeas
(garbanzo beans)—rinsed and
drained
½ cup tahini
1 teaspoon sea salt
PLACE all ingredients in a
food processor or blender and
process until smooth, scraping
the sides occasionally.
Variations: If you like a spicier
hummus, add a small red chili
(chopped) or a pinch of
cayenne pepper, or try a little
cumin for a more exotic
variation.
Tip: Prepare extra quantities
of hummus—it can be
refrigerated, covered, for up to
1 week and frozen for up to 3
months.
