Hummus Lunch
Hummus is a wonderfully nutritious food and the flavours you can create are endless!  Make big batches over the weekend and use all week long!
Picture
​Ingredients:
1 Can - 15-ounce (425 grams) - chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans
1/4 C (59 ml) - fresh lemon juice, about 1 large lemon
​1/4 C (59 ml) - well-stirred tahini
Half of a large garlic clove, minced
2 TB -  olive oil, plus more for serving
1/2 - 1 tsp - kosher salt, depending on taste
1/2 tsp - ground cumin
2 - 3 TB -  water
​Dash of ground paprika for serving

METHOD
Combine tahini and lemon juice.  Mix for 1 minute.  Clean sides and bottom of bowl then mix for 30 seconds. This helps make the hummus  smooth and creamy.
Add the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin and the salt to the whipped tahini and lemon juice mixture. Mix for 30 seconds, scrape sides and bottom of bowl then mix another 30 seconds.
Drain chickpeas, then rinse well with water. Add half of the chickpeas to the mixture and blend for 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl, add remaining chickpeas and mix for 1 to 2 minutes or until thick and quite smooth.

NOTE:  If the hummus is too thick or has chickpea chunks then turn on mixer and slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water until the consistency is perfect.
