Hummus and Pita Bread: A great Vegan Snack


I love hummus. There are many different varieties of this dip. The most basic recipe calls for 4 ingredients: chickpeas, tahini (ground sesame butter), lemon juice, and garlic. Some varieties use roasted garlic, some use cumin spice. Below is the recipe I like.
Hummus
1 Can Chickpeas with half of the water from can
2-4 Cloves Garlic
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
¼ cup Tahini
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Paprika
½ tsp Salt
1 tsp roasted red pepper (optional)
1) Blend all ingredients together in a blender.
2) Garnish with a splash of oil, nuts, and some more paprika.
