Instructions
- Place garbanzo beans, tahini, garlic, oil and seasoning(s) in food processor/blender (my Vitamix makes it very smooth) with a little of the reserved liquid (or water) and juice of one lemon. Blend to form a smooth paste.
- Add more lemon juice, reserved liquid and/or salt to taste.
- Blend until a soft, creamy texture is achieved.
- Serve in bowl as a dip, topped with a little oil and parsley sprig, or dash of cayenne or paprika, with warm pita, pita chips, or your favorite veggies.
Notes
- Try to buy canned chick peas WITHOUT disodium EDTA.
- If you don't have tahini, I have used peanut butter in a pinch.
- You can add sundried tomatoes, roasted red pepper or other ingredients to make flavored hummus.
