Shani’s Homemade Hummus

Ingredients

1 15/16 oz can of garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
2 tablespoons tahini
5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup liquid from can of garbanzo beans

Directions

Pour entire can of garbanzo beans into a small saucepan and heat on medium heat until hot (trust me this makes it so much better).

Drain juice into a bowl and set aside; put garbanzo beans into a food processor or blender; add tahini and blend until most of the garbanzo beans have been chopped.

Add remaining ingredients (I added garbanzo bean liquid last to ensure I wanted to use the entire ¼ cup; I used about half)

*You can add anything to your hummus like: Roasted Red Pepper, Artichokes, Fire Roasted or Sun-Dried Tomatoes, etc

And…It Is What It Is!
