Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 Oz. Can) Garbanzo Beans (a.k.a. Chick Peas), Drained And Rinsed Well Or You Can Substitute Dried Beans That Have Been Soaked And Cooked To Make It Really Cheaply
  • 1/2 cups Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin (don't Skip This)
  • 1 clove Garlic, Chopped
  • 1/4 cups Olive Oil

Method

  • Put all ingredients except olive oil into a food processor.
  • I tried this once before with a blender and it really doesnt work since it all gets stuck, but if you are patient (Im not) you could make it work.
  • You just need to keep opening the top and mixing the beans up inside the blender.
  • While you are running the food processor, open the little hole at the top and stream in the oil.
  • This will result in the creamy texture of delicious hummus.
  • Depending on how you like your consistency, you will use more or less oil.
  • When its finally done, you need to have a little taste to figure out if it needs more garlic (I say the more garlic, the better, so we usually use 2 cloves), salt, lemon, oil, etc.
  • to suit your familys preferences.
  • If you make this with dried beans, you will have a TON of hummus.
  • It freezes beautifully.
  • We like our hummus on crackers, carrot sticks, homemade pita bread or chips, and pretzels.
