Hummus Recipe

One of my favorite things to eat in the summer (and in truth all year round) is hummus. Because multiple people have requested my recipe over the years, I figured I'd share it here.

There are only eight ingredients:

• 15 oz canned garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 medium cloves garlic, minced by hand or through a press
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• pinch cayenne
• juice of one lemon (2½-3 tablespoons)
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup tahini
• ⅛ cup water

Place all ingredients in a food processor and process for 10-15 seconds. That's it!

I like my hummus thick, garlicky, and slightly chunky - if your preferences differ, increase the water a bit, cut back on the garlic, and increase the processing time.

Enjoy!
