Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Medium Sized Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Teaspoons Salt
  • 15 oz 1 Can Garbanzo Beans
  • ½ Medium Lemon, Juiced
  • 3 Tablespoons Tahini
  • 2 Ice Cubes

Instructions
 

  • Begin by opening your can of garbanzo beans. Measure about 1 tablespoon of liquid, place it into a small container and then drain the remaining liquid from the can.
  • In a food processor, add in your garlic, salt, and garbanzo beans with the 1 tablespoon of liquid you saved.Blend on high for a minute or so.
  • Then add in the juice of one lemon and your 3 tablespoons of tahini, then blend for another minute or two.
  • At this point you can add in 1 ice cube and blend for another 30 seconds or so, then add in the other ice cube and continue to blend for an additional 30 seconds to a minute. Pop it in the fridge for about 15 minutes to cool and thicken before eating!
  • Optional: Top with some toasted pine nuts, olive oil, red chili flakes. Enjoy with some pita, naan dippers, crackers, vegetables and more!

Notes

Hint: You know that you're done blending when the color of the hummus turns lighter/ paler in color and your texture appears smooth and creamy!
