This Hummus is always a hit and it is super easy and inexpensive to make. So get ready to knock it out of the park next time you need to bring something to a party or just want to dip your carrots in something special.


Ingredients
1 15 oz can of chick-peas
1 clove garlic
juice of 2 lemons
3 tablespoons tahini
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
lemon wedges and parsley sprigs for garnish

Cook chick-peas with liquid in the sauce pan for about 5 minutes to soften them up. Drain the chick-peas but make sure to reserve a little of the liquid for smoothing the hummus later on. Get out that food processor (or a blender would work too) and throw in the chick-peas, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, olive oil and salt. blend it all together and add the reserve liquid to smooth (this is kind of by preference, if you like it a little chunky you can skip this step). Put it in a dish and drizzle with olive oil and throw on the garnish if you please.
