I love hummus. Its so easy to make and you get 5 times as much as those little store-bought tubs for the same amount of money (or less). The only thing you need is a food processor, although don't let not having one stop you. Just give your arm a workout and mash it like crazy with a potato masher or fork. Serve this hummus with raw veggies, pita bread, or use it as a spread for a tasty veggie sandwich with thinly sliced carrots, avocado and sprouts. This makes a whole bunch; cut the recipe in half if you don't have someone to share it with.
Cilantro-Jalapeno Hummus
2 cans garbanzo beans, rinsed & drained
1 jalapeno, ribs & seeds removed
½ bunch cilantro
½ cup tahini (use the homemade tahini you just made from the blog!)
juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic
plenty of black pepper (to taste)
Blend all of this in a food processor, adding water as needed to reach the desired consistency (about ½ cup water).
