Hummus Recipe

As promised here is my famous, easy Hummus recipe. 

1 can of chick peas drained (reserve the liquid)

1 large garlic clove

Tahini (use a good quality, preferably organic brand)

Good quality olive oil

1 fresh  whole lemon juiced 

Salt and pepper

Pour the chick peas into the bowl of a large food processor with steel blade attached.

Add the garlic clove, a tablespoon of tahini and a quarter cup of the liquid reserved from the can of chick peas.

Blend on high until mixture is smooth and the consistency of a thick pancake batter.

If it is too pasty add more liquid.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Add the lemon juice to taste with the salt and pepper.

I prefer some zing to my hummus so I add a lot of lemon. The great thing about this recipe is that it is high in fiber, low in fat and can be modified to your specific tastes.

Enjoy!
