Simply Hummus

Another thing I wanted to try immediately with the new food processor is hummus. I am obsessed with it and my favorite kind is Sabra Hummus. I think I did pretty good to recreate it - thanks to the Cuisinart! I plan on trying variations of it in the future, I saw a recipe the other day for Curry and Black Bean Hummus that both looked good! Stay tuned - I will post if I try them!

Ingredients:

2 cans reduced sodium garbonzo beans (drained, reserve liquid)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper (if you like it to have a little kick)

Directions:

Throw it all into the magical food processor and blend until smooth. Add the reserved liquid from the garbonzo beans if you want to play with the consistency. Serve with veggies or Stacy's Pita Chips, my favorite. So easy, healthy and delicious!
