Hummus



Hummus

4 cups cooked garbanzo beans
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tsp. granulated garlic
Salt to taste
1 cup olive oil
½ cup lemon juice

In a food processor, pulse garbanzo beans, tahini, garlic and salt until the beans begin to mash. Then, with the food processor turned on, slowly stream in the olive oil and lemon juice until the mixture becomes smooth. Additional olive oil may be needed.  

Serve chilled. Our hummus is the most popular when it has chilled for several hours and the flavors have had time to marry.

For other hummus variations:
·         Pulse one cup roasted red peppers with the garbanzo beans
·         Stir in 2 tablespoons pesto into finished hummus, omitting garlic
