My favorite RECIPES...Yummy!

Basic Hummus

  • 1 can of garbanzo beans -strain all but about 1/5 of liquid
  • 2 Tbl EVOO
  • 2 Tbl of tahini (sesame paste)- I like to go just shy of 2 Tbl
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic (chop before adding to food processor)
  • 1/2 juice of a lemon
  • cumin and mild yellow curry to taste (about 1/2 tsp each)
  • dash of red pepper
Blend all in food processor for a minimum of 2 minutes until smooth. Taste and add more flavor if need. For "spicy hummus" add 1/2 of a chopped fresh jalapeno. Or try sun dried tomato...possibilities are endless.

Serve plain or top with a drizzle of evoo and dash of paprika...Enjoy!
