Hummus!

Good news everyone! I got the recipe from my nutrition teacher for her hummus, which I have been craving lately. Here is the recipe, courtesy of Janet Anderson.

2 16-oz cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/3 c. tahini
1 tsp salt
Juice of 1 lemon
¼ tsp cayenne pepper, ground
¼ tsp cumin, ground
¼ tsp black pepper, ground
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 handful parsley
¾ green onions, cut into 1” pieces
Water as needed (about 1/3 cup)

Place all ingredients in food processor or blender. Add water as needed to form a smooth paste. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Looks yummy, but what is tahini? Not sure in which isle that would be in the grocery store!

Sorry this is so much later, but tahini is a sesame paste, like peanut butter made out of sesame seeds. It is expensive at some stores, but stores like Maceys have it, I think in the Asian foods aisle. For sure a health food store would have tahini, but I'm not sure where you could find it the cheapest. It goes pretty far.
