Hummus bi Tahini

Copyied and Pasted from .. a friend's info but I really want to make this so I'm going to drop it here.


Ingredients

1 can organic chick peas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
Juice of one lemon
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp cumin
1 clove of garlic
Salt to taste (I use about 1/2 tsp)

Put everything in the bowl of the food processor. Process until quite smooth, at least 30 seconds. Let the hummus rest for about 30 minutes in the fridge before eating to let the flavors meld.

When serving, spread some HbT on a plate and drizzle with some olive oil and cracked black pepper. Serve with pita.

Keeps for about 3 days, if you can keep your mitts out of it.

You can add more garlic, paprika or red pepper if you want it a little spicier.

Keep good whole wheat pita in the fridge. When you want to have a snack, pull a pita out, tear it in half, and warm it up in your toaster until it's just a little crisp. Or keep good pita chips like Whole Foods 365 fresh pita chips on hand.
