Low Fat Hummus Recipe


My favorite hummus recipe without Tahini:

Put one can of drained chickpeas in a a strong blender or food processor.
Add 1 clove of garlic
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 small mild hot pepper without seeds or stem
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons water may be necessary to get it to blend

Blend until smooth.  This will make enough to last a couple of days in your refrigerator.  I use it in place of mayo.
If you prefer a hummus made with tahini, go ahead and add up to 2 tablespoons (but not more because of the amount of fat that is in tahini).  Your heart will thank you.
