Easy Hummus

I love hummus, but it can get expensive if you buy it at the store.  My grandmother taught me this recipe:

Ingredients
- 2 cans drained, rinsed chickpeas
(you can use raw chickpeas but be sure to soak them and follow directions to prepare)
-tahini sauce
-cumin
-olive oil
-salt
-optional water
Dipping items of your choice such as:
-pita bread, chips, crackers, baby carrots or raw veggies

Combine 2 cans of drained, rinsed chickpeas or the equivalent of fresh chickpeas with 2/3 cup of tahini and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin in a blender or food processor.

Blend well.  Slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup or olive oil and blend. 

If mixture is too thick, add water to reach desired consistency.  Add salt to taste.

Scoop hummus into a bowl and pour a tiny bit of olive oil on top to form a small pool of the oil.  Add a dash of cumin to the oil  Serve with pita bread or pita chips, crackers, baby carrots or raw veggies.

This will last in the refrigerator for up to 2 days if covered properly.  It's also a very healthy meal.  You can use as an appetizer or a mini-meal.

I would love to hear your hummus recipes if you have one to share.
