Hummus

More chickpeas, people. I've never made hummus myself, so I tried this great recipe from guest contributor Abe (creator of prosciutto-wrapped dates.) Make sure to rinse the garbanzos well and to use lots of lemon juice.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 small cans of garbanzo beans
  • 8 ounces tahini
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 4-8 cloves of garlic
  • 1-2 Tbs of olive oil
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • Paprika (optional)
Instructions
  1. Put all ingredients except paprika into a food processor and blend until smooth. If too thick, dilute the mixture with a little water.
  2. Pour into a bowl, top with olive oil and paprika, and serve.

Serve 4-8.

  2. Hey, any grocery store should carry them. They're usually in bags, and in the same aisle as rice. They should be dirt cheap, too.
