I love hummus and this recipe lets me enjoy it more often without the higher calorie count of some recipes. Serve with warm pita bread and sliced veggies for a nutritious snack. Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (save liquid) or 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained (save liquid) |
1 -2 garlic clove, crushed |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 tablespoon tahini (optional, but if you do not use, increase yogurt by 1 tbls) or 1 tablespoon low-fat peanut butter, if you prefer (optional, but if you do not use, increase yogurt by 1 tbls) |
1/2 cup plain yogurt |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon cumin |
1 pinch cayenne |
Directions:
1. In a food processor combine beans, tahini (if desired), yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice. Blend well. Add salt, cumin and cayenne and blend to a smooth and creamy dip.
2. If you hummus is too thick, add a little bit of the liquid from the chickpeas - about a teaspoon at time. Other ways to thin out hummus is by using warm water or olive oil also.
