I was eating hummus way before it became cool. Instead of peanut butter and jelly, I ate hummus. It is healthy for you and a great way to eat beans if you are not a fan of them. Hummus is very easy to make. I love that you can put in the spices that you want, instead of being stuck with whatever someone else decides.
The recipe is very easy:
1 can of garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
2 lemons
1/3 cup Tahini
salt and pepper to taste
That is the basic recipe. I add garlic powder, parsley, Tony Chachere's Cajun seasoning, etc. It depends on what I feel like making that day. I always sprinkle paprika on top. When it is a special occasion, I will fry up some ground lamb and put it on top with olive oil of course. Tahini is a bit pricey, but it last for several times. I don't know that you save a lot of money by making it yourself, but it sure tastes better!
