Hummus

A slightly healthier version of the old favorite.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 16

Ingredients

• 1  lb dried garbanzo beans
• 4  garlic cloves
• 1⁄2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
• 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1⁄2 cup lemon juice
•  salt

Directions

1. Rinse and sort chick peas. Let soak 6-8 hours.
2. Drain soaked peas. Simmer over medium heat 1.5-2 hours or until tender. Drain, reserving liquid.
3. Add all ingredients together in a food processor and puree until desired consistency is reached. The reserved liquid from the beans can be added in small amounts until the hummus is smooth enough.
4. Note: The ingredients listed can be varied depending on your tastes. Also, try adding a dash of cayenne and letting the mixture sit over night for a kick :). One serving is about 1/4-1/2°C.
