Food Lion Kitchen: Healthy Homemade Hummus

Healthy Homemade Humus:

4 cups garbanzo beans cooked in can with juice

5 cloves of garlic

1 tablespoon Tahini (sesame paste)

¼ tablespoon onion powder

¼ tablespoon garlic powder

½ tablespoon cumin

½ Tablespoon turmeric  (skip it if you can't find it!)

¼ tablespoon black pepper

½ -1 fresh lemon juice

Pinch cayenne pepper

Pinch salt

Procedure:

Strain beans and set juice aside. In food processor, place garlic and beans with splash of bean juice to help the food processor turn and to get "paste or dip-like" consistency.   Add all of the remaining ingredients and continue to pulse the food processor until smooth or desired texture.  Serve with warm pita bread or pita chips.  Also is a great healthy flavorful addition to a salad, fish, or poultry dish!
