Ingredients

2 cups Garbanzo beans/chickpeas, soaked, or 1 16 oz can, drained, w/liquid held in reserve

...........................

2 tablespoons Tahini

...........................

3 tablespoons Lemon Juice

...........................

1 clove Garlic, crushed, or more

...........................

1 tablespoon Olive or flaxseed oil, or more

...........................

1/2 teaspoon Cumin

...........................

Salt to taste

Preparation

Blend, stir, etc. Add reserved liquid if necessary for consistency. Refrigerate or serve. The amounts here are really just suggestions; there's no authoritative recipe for hummus, so feel free to improvise.

Cook's Notes

Flaxseed oil is an excellent source of omega-3 oils, but cooking destroys its healthful properties. Hummus is therefore an excellent way to incorporate flaxseed oil into your diet. However, olive oil is the distinctively flavored, traditional ingredient, so you may want to use a little of both.
