Hummus

This recipe is so easy and delicious! You can eat it with vegetables, wheat bread, tortilla chips, pita chips or whatever else you might think of. If you've never bought tahini, you can find it at most grocery stores now. I think it might be cheapest at Whole Foods or Sprouts ( any grocery store that caters to the 'granola' population since they sell more of it in those stores.) It'll run about 4 dollars, but you can use it several times for this recipe. It does make a difference. I've tried it both ways. It's probably the only ingredient that you'll have to go buy for this recipe, so treat yourself!
Enjoy!

1 can garbonzo beans (chick peas)
1/2 c sesame tahini
1/4 c lemon juice
1/2 tsp cumin
3-4 cloves mashed garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp olive oil

Drain beans, reserving liquid. In a blender, combine all ingredients except olive oil. Blend until mostly smooth, adding reserved liquid as needed. Transfer mixture into tupperware dish and let it sit in the refrigerator over night. ( If you try the hummus right after you blend it, the garlic will rock your world. Your breath will be stank for about 3 days.) When you're ready to serve the hummus, drizzle the olive oil over the top. ( I've made it where I've just added the olive oil to the mixture while it's still in the blender, because I don't especially like the taste of olive oil. Either way is fine, and also delicious.)
You can serve this with tortilla chips or pita chips. You can make your own chips by cutting up flour tortillas and toasting them on a baking sheet in a 250 degree oven until they're light brown, about 15 minutes (That's a guess. I've never actually timed it, so check them every five minutes or so). If you cut the tortillas into 8ths, you get lots of chips out of a few tortillas.
