Hummus Among Us

I made hummus for tonight's party for my work.
It is so easy.
Take two cans of chick peas,
otherwise known as garbanzo beans.
Drain and keep the juices.
Put the chick peas in a blender or food processor.
Add minced (three cloves) of garlic.
Add a heaping tablespoon of tahini.
Squeeze one lemon into the mix.
Pour in some olive oil.
Blend and add some of the reserved bean juice to make it creamy.
It should be able to blend with no problem.
I make my hummus in the blender,
so I am basing this all on blending.
Cover with olive oil.
Put it in a covered container.
Refrigerate.
Serve in a few hours or whenever with pita chips.
Yum.
Tell your children it is bean dip and NOT hummus.
It will be a hit.
