Mediterranean Low Fat Hummus Recipe Video
This low fat hummus recipe is a favorite all-around snack or part of a vegan appetizer night, but if you are really big on hummus it can be a meal in itself. Have it with fresh vegetable sticks rather than pita bread, since we're all about healthy vegan recipes. Phil likes to call it 'huh-moose', with the accent on the moose. He tells me this is how they pronounce it in the middle east.
Ingredients
½ cup dried chickpeas, fully cooked OR 14 oz can of chickpeas
3 Tbsp tahini
2 lemons, juiced
4 garlic cloves, pressed
1 tsp salt (approx)
1 tsp cumin (optional)
Radishes, cut into sticks
Carrots, cut into sticks
Cucumber, cut into sticks

Add chickpeas to a food processor (best choice) or blender (works ok) with enough water to come halfway up the beans. Blend to a thick paste, then add tahini, lemon juice and garlic and blend to a light cream, adding more water if necessary.
