Hummus

Hummus

My Simple Hummus Recipe:

1 Can Chick Peas (15 oz)
1/3 Cup water from can
1/3 Cup Tahini
Juice from One Lemon
1/2 tsp Salt
Pepper to taste
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1/3 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 

First Shred the Garlic.  Then add everything but the Olive Oil.  Then Shred!  For about a minute, scraping as you go.  Then, slowly add Olive Oil and shred for another minute.  

I have a processor that lets me add the oil as it processes, which is fantastic.  But if you are working with a regular blender or something, you can work in batches adding the oil a little at a time.  Just don't add it all at once or it wont blend properly!
