I will warn you, this recipe is SO delicious and so simple, that after making it from scratch, you will have a hard time ever eating store bought again…

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 can Garbanzo Beans drain the liquid
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 4 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 2 tbsp Tahini you can find this in the international food aisle
• 3 tbsp EVOO plus some for drizzling
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

• Boil the garbanzo beans until tender (about 10 minutes).
• Drain the beans and add them to a food processor with the garlic, lemon juice, EVOO and tahini.
• Blend until you get a thick paste. With the processor still running, add a little water (like a teaspoon at a time), until the hummus becomes smooth and creamy.
  
• Taste and add salt and pepper.
  

Top this delicious dip with a drizzle of good quality EVOO before serving. It pairs perfectly with vegetables or pita chips! You can even store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Love always,
