Hummus

We almost always have hummus of some kind in our fridge.  It's a quick, easy and healthy snack and very easy to make.  If you've got a food processor, tahini paste, and a can of chick peas (garbanzo beans) - you can easily make your own hummus (I know, I've said it before...and before...and before).  It's perfect for a dip or a spread on your favorite sandwich or french bread.

We love this with pita chips and carrots sticks.

2 cloves garlic
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drain and reserve liquid
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
3 TBS. olive oil
2 tablespoons light sour cream

Directions:
Mince garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Add remaining ingredients. Process until smooth, adding additional olive oil as needed to reach desired consistency.  Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
