Hummus is Yummus! Hummus is ridiculously easy to make, and pretty cheap too. The most expensive ingredient is the Tahini. You can always freeze what you don't use (I put it in ice trays so it freezes into ~1Tbsp units). Since each batch of hummus only calls for a couple of tablespoons of tahini, it stretches out.
Ingredients:
1 red pepper - roasted and peeled
1 15 oz can of garbanzo beans (chick peas)
2 Tbsp tahini (toasted sesame paste)
1 large clove of garlic - crushed*
Juice from one lemon
1-2 tsp salt
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
Directions:
In blender or food processor, combine, red pepper, garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, and salt - blend. Add olive oil and blend until smooth.
*Garlic has to be crushed, or smashed (you can do it with the flat side of a knife, or with a spatula); if you try to put in a whole clove, the garlic flavor will be too strong and it will overpower your hummus.
