Hummus bi Tahini

I found this recipe at Kevin Weeks Seriously Good blog. It is a basic hummus recipe. I like this because I can add ingredients without changing the basic taste. Also, it is easy to prepare with basic ingredients and a blender. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

INGREDIENTS
1 can of garbanzo beans (drained, rinsed and skins removed)
1/4 cup tahini
2 cloves of garlic
3 Tbs. lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp. coarse salt
1 tsp. cumin
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 c warm water (more may be needed)

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend, scraping down the sides and blending to the desired consistency. Refrigerate for a few hours to meld flavors.

Spread in a flat bowl and top as desired:

Additional olive oil
Chopped kalmata olives
Roasted red peppers

Serve with pita chips or pita bread wedges.

Enjoy
