Hummus ... Yummus!

Hummus

Ingredients - Recipe makes 5 Cups/40 Servings

2 Cloves Garlic
2 (19 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, half the liquid reserved

   1/2 cup lemon juice

   1/2 cup tahini

   2 cloves garlic, chopped

   1 teaspoon salt

   Black pepper and cumin to taste

   1/4 cup olive oil

Directions

1  In a blender, chop the garlic. Pour garbanzo beans into blender, reserving about a tablespoon for garnish. Put lemon juice, tahini, chopped garlic, and salt in blender. Add salt gradually as the blending occurs. Blend until creamy and well mixed.

2  To adjust the texture between creamy and more solid, vary the amount of liquid you drain from the can. The more liquid the creamier. 

3 Transfer the mixture to a large serving bowl and store the rest in your freezer. Sprinkle with pepper and pour olive oil over the top. Garnish with a few garbanzo beans.

Serve with baked pita chips or fresh vegetables ... ENJOY!
