Recipe of the week: Hummus

My sister makes a very yummy hummus and was cool enough to give it to me for my blog. Yea hummus!

Hummus
1 - 15oz can chick peas/garbanzo beans
1 ¼ tsp salt (I use Kosher)
2 ¼-2 ½ tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp olive oil
Hot sauce (as much as you like…I put in several dashes/shakes)
1 head roasted garlic
½ cup Tahini
Water – I use warm/hot water and put in enough to make it the consistency I like (between ½ & ¾ cup)

Combine it all and then add the water, until it’s the consistency you want.
Make it thinner for a veggie dip.

Yes, that's right, it calls for 1 whole head of garlic! (But it's roasted, so it's a little less pungent)
