My husband makes the BEST hummus. We usually use whole wheat pita bread or pita chips to dip, but I also like to dip it with raw veggies. It can also be used as a spread. Amazing "recipe"... delicious and nutritious :)
Enjoy!
Throw in your blender:
2 cans of garbanzo/chick peas, rinsed
Fresh or roasted garlic (2 cloves raw, 4 cloves *roasted)
Red peppers - approx. 1/4 of a pepper (we like them roasted in a jar, or you can roast yourself)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (add to your desired consistency)
Balsamic Vinegar - add to taste (you might like a little, you might like a lot, up to you!)
Fresh Lemon - 1/4 squeezed (the juice helps preserve the hummus)
Fresh Lemon - 1/4 squeezed (the juice helps preserve the hummus)
*To roast the garlic, simply peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb skin, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact. Using a knife, cut off 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of the top of cloves, exposing the individual cloves of garlic. Put in an oven safe container (smaller the better) with some olive oil... You can put it in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, or you can put it in at 275 for over an hour. (We like the second option... makes your house smell yummy :)
