For 1 Persons
Category: None
1 cn (15oz) chickpeas(Garbanzos)
2 tb Lemon juice
1/4 ts Ground cumin
1 sm Garlic clove; minced, (I use
-at least twice this amount
-and let the blender do the
-mincing)

Fat free hummus is easy. I do it about once a week. I use an Ornish recipe
from _Everyday Cooking_ but add about 1 T of tahini. I figure at 7.5 g
fat/T with 32 T in this recipe that's 1/4 g fat/T and I can handle it since
I eat no dairy.
Drain chickpeas, reserving juice. Do not rinse. Transfer peas to a food
processor or blender and blend with 1/2 c reserved chickpea juice, lemon
juice, cumin, garlic and cayenne. Add parsley and red onion and pulse
briefly just to mix.
I usually start with a smaller amount of the juice, adding more to get the
consistency I want. I found 1/2 c to be too much.
By the way, hummus is caro here, too. It's even cheaper to make at home if
you cook the beans yourself.
