Hummus

The delight of vegetarians and vegans everywhere. Great with soft, straight out of the oven (or at least freshly toasted) pita bread.

This recipe makes about 2.25 cups.

Ingredients

• 4-6 cloves garlic
• 1 can of chick peas (15.5 oz or 500 mL)
• 2 T olive oil
• 2-3 T lemon juice
• 2 T tahini
• 1/4 t ground cumin (o)
• salt & pepper, to taste (o)

In order of appearance, add ingredients to a food processor. The garlic should be minced well before moving down the list.

If your hummus is too stiff, water can be added (1 T at a time) to soften the mixture. Refridgerate leftovers.
