Quick Lemon Hummus
Hummus is most commonly thought of as a dip, but it's so much more. Use it as a sandwich spread (try it with cucumbers, sprouts and sliced tomatoes on whole wheat bread) or as a sauce for grilled lamb. It's pretty great with firm white fish, such as cod.
Servings: Makes 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients
Directions
Combine the garbanzo beans, peanut butter, lemon juice and zest, cumin, and garlic in a food processor. With the machine running, add the oil. Add enough of the reserved bean liquid to make a smooth, fluffy purée. Season with salt and red pepper. (The hummus can be prepared up to 5 days ahead, covered and refrigerated.)
