The (simple) Truth About Hummus


It's SO EASY TO MAKE!
-yes, I'm yelling at you.


Ingredients:
1 can of garbanzo beans (chick peas) drained and rinsed
1 squeezed lemon
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/8 c. tahini (sesame seed paste)
1/2 tbls. olive oil
1/4 c. water
1 tsp. salt
1 clove of garlic

Directions:
Throw all ingredients in a food processor and mix together until smooth.  I used a little Cuisnart chopper, so anything of the like will work.

For other varitions:
Olive Humus (seen above, so good!)
Basil Hummus
Avocado Hummus

The tahini paste is a little expensive, about $8-9 a jar, but it lasts for quite awhile and makes such a big difference in taste.  You'll definitely save money in the long run by making your own hummus at home over buying it in the store.
