I don't know about you, but I get frustrated that almost all of the hummus in any of the stores I go to, including natural health food stores and Whole Foods, is not organic. The good news about this is that it is really easy to make your own hummus.
You can use canned garbanzo beans, which are already cooked, or you can make your own. It's fun to do this because then you can have some left over to eat later on salad or however you like them.
Hummus is made with a set of ingredients, but tastes differently based upon the amounts of each that you use. Basically, you have to taste it as you go to get the taste that you like.
Ingredients:
Garbanzo Beans, cooked (boil in water for about 1 1/2 hours after soaking for a few hours), or canned - around a cup or two
Sesame Tahini - usually around 1 - 2 tablespoons
Fresh lemon juice - start with half a lemon and then adjust to taste
olive oil
sea salt
use some of the garbanzo bean water to make sure there's enough liquid for blending
Blend all ingredients in a blender until smoothe. You may have to stop and wipe the sides a few times. Make sure to use just enough liquid to blend, but not too much to make it watery.
Hummus is great as a dip for veggies or chips or on a sandwich or wrap.
