Hummus

Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 20 oz can of chickpeas
- 6tablespoon olive oil (I usually only use 3 and add more liquid)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (or leave whole and throw in the food
- processor first)
- 4tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (I usually eliminate it. Canned beans are salty
- enough.)
- fresh ground pepper to taste
- 4 parsley sprigs finely chopped
- 6 mint leaves, finely chopped
Directions:
Drain the chick peas and reserve 1/4 - 1/2 cup of the liquid. In a
food processor, blend chickpeas until smooth. Add olive oil and
garlic (if you haven't already) and process. Slowly add in lemon
juice. Add salt and pepper and slowly add liquid while processing
until the right consistency is reached. It should be smooth and
creamy, but stop adding liquid when it becomes velvety. Blend in
parsley and mint, cover and chill.
For a non-fat version of humus, leave out the olive oil and use more of the
chickpea liquid.
