This is super duper easy to make, and tastes so much better than the store-bought stuff!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 15 oz. can of chickpeas/garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons tahini paste
• 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon tamari
• 1/4 cup cool water
• Salt to taste

Directions

• Combine the oil, garlic, and cumin in a small sauce pan. Heat over medium until garlic is soft but not browned (about 5 minutes).
• Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until uniform.
• Serve topped with more olive oil, and a dash of Paprika if you like. I enjoy it with warm pita bread.
