Low Fat Hummus Spread

Submitted by Joan in N.S.

"A great spread for pita bread or celery or other veggies or to use with Middle Eastern dishes."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 1 3/4 cups
• Serves: 14

ingredients

• 1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 dash hot pepper sauce
• 1 pinch salt and pepper

directions

1. Put all ingredients in a food processor and puree together until smooth. Transfer to a food saver container and keep in fridge to use as needed. I always put a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the food processor, thus eliminating the need to wash that part of the machine!

I've only tasted shop bought humous which I didn't like, but this was lovely! The cumin gave it a lovely flavour. I didn't have any pepper sauce to add but it was lovely without it. I know I'm going to find this addictive!

This is great hummus without the guilt! Also great for a vegetarian looking to increase her daily protein. Next time I will use just a bit more cumin and less sesame oil. I love to serve hummus with soft pita bread or pita chips.
