Hummus: middle eastern spread made with chickpeas, garlic, and tahini
Ingredients
1 cup chick peas (we make a big batch on Sundays for the week, but canned is fine, try to use organic)
1 clove of garlic
3 tbsp tahini
3 tbsp of citrus juice (we used a combo of 2 tbsp fresh lime juice and 1 tbsp orange juice-your typical is made with lemon juice)
¼ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp cumin
*optional-cayenne to taste: we used 1/16 of a tsp because we have little kiddos
Additional whirlins: handful of parsley or some scallions for color
Instructions
Place everything in a food processor. If the consistency is too thick, you can add additional juice to thin. Add this slowly and no more than ½ tbsp at a time.
Transfer to container and chill or eat right away!
Notes
To reduce fat further; you could cut tahini down to 2 tbsp and increase citrus juice.
