We are great fans of hummus. Here's the basic recipe. Feel free to leave things out if you are on a special diet. Feel free to add things in to jazz it up. Yum!!
1 16 oz. can garbanzo beans - drain and save the liquid
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 TBSP lemon juice
2 TBSP tahini (sesame seed butter) or peanut butter
1 tsp. soy sauce or tamari
Add all ingredients to blender except reserved bean juice. Blend for approx. 2 minutes adding enough juice to make it the consistency you like. We like it spreadable but not runny. I use a Blendtec blender to make this and it becomes wonderfully smooth and light.
Serve with pita bread wedges, crackers or raw veggies.
Sun Dried Tomato variation: Chop about 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes in the blender before adding the other ingredients - set them aside while you process the rest of the hummus. Stir tomatoes into hummus in a bowl and serve. Optional - increase the garlic to 2 cloves for this one.

When I made this for those of you on the migraine headache diet, I just looked at the list and left those things out. It seems like there isn't much left but it still turned out tasty.
