I love Hummus and it is so easy to make. Once you have your pantry stocked you can whip up a batch in a matter of minutes.
* 1 16 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
* 3 tablespoons lemon juice
* 2 tablespoons tahini
* 1 cloves garlic, crushed and then chopped
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
* 5-7 shakes of cayenne pepper
* Roasted Red Peppers homemade or jarred
or a few large spoonfuls of a red pepper spread. - I like Trader Joe's Egg Plant Red Pepper Spread.
Drain chickpeas and rinse. Combine remaining ingredients in blender or food processor. Blend until completely mixed and smooth. Adjust any ingredients to your personal preference.
Serve immediately with fresh, warm or toasted pita bread, raw vegetables, crackers or cover and refrigerate.
