Try it Thursday!

Yummy Hummus Recipe

2 c. chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
1/4 c. tahini (sesame paste)
1/4 c. water
1/6 c. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 T. lemon juice
3/4 tsp. salt
1 T. cumin powder

Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender and process until very smooth. Refrigerate in an air-tight container for 7-10 days.

6 servings (1/3 c. each)

I've made it before with about half of the tahini, which will reduce the calorie count quite a bit. Also, when I made if for RS, I only used one garlic clove and about half of the cumin because I didn't want it to be too strong.
