Hummus - No oil


Hummus are so versatile, you can use them as a dip for fresh veggies, to replace mayo or use them to replace cheese in vegan nachos.

In a food processor add:
2 cans of chick peas with the liquid
1 tablespoon of tahini (I use peanut butter or any nut butter you have available)
the rind of 1 lemon grated
the juice of one lemon
3 cloves of garlic microwaved for 15-20 seconds to mellow the flavor and remove the skins.
Blend until smooth.

Options:
Add a small chopped yellow red or orange sweet pepper
or add a chopped carrot microwave for 1-2 minutes to soften.
Add spices like cumin to change the flavor or cayenne pepper to make it spicy. Be creative!
