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!
