My Favorite Hummus

Love this stuff. Love that you can add additional flavors and really make it your own! This recipe is adapted from The Barefooot Contessa's recipe. Make it, it's sooo good, and way better than the store bought stuff.  I make a batch and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge. Lasts about 7-10 days for me.

Hummus For Us

1 can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained (reserve liquid)

2-3 cloves of garlic minced

6 tablespoons lemon juice (see my method for preserving fresh lemon juice)

1/3 cup tahini

1 teaspoon salt

Put all ingredients in a food processor, and blend to desired consistency.  If it looks (tastes) to think, add some of the reserved chickpea juice. All done!

So easy! You can add any other flavor you want, more garlic, roasted red peppers, sundries tomatoes, pesto....possibilities are endless.  Enjoy!
