Default Hummus Recipes

I found some interesting hummus recipes you might enjoy.

Black Bean Hummus
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
* 1 can black beans, drained (15 oz)
* 1/4 cup tahini
* 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1/4 tablespoon lime juice
* 1/2 teaspoon cumin
Preparation:
In a food processor, process all ingredients until smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, add half a teaspoon olive oil and a half teaspoon lime water. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator in airtight container.

Low Fat Hummus
Ingredients:
* 1 15 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans, drained (save liquid)
* 1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon tahini, or low fat peanut butter if you prefer (optional, but if you do not use, increase yogurt by 1 TBLS
* 1/2 cup plain yogurt
* 1 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
In a food processor combine beans, tahini (if desired), yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice. Blend well. Add salt and cumin and blend to a smooth and creamy dip.
If your hummus is too thick, add a little bit of the liquid from the chickpeas - about a teaspoon at time. Other ways to thin out hummus is by using warm water or olive oil also.

Other recipes were to add one of these: roasted garlic, roasted red peppers, roasted chili peppers, Kalamata olives, or 4 TBS peanut butter instead of tahini.
