Cooking tip: Having a party? When planning your low carb spread, think about which dishes you can make in advance and which need fresh ingredients that day.
Ingredients:
- 2 16 oz can, drained, yields Garbanzo Beans
- 3 fluid ounces Lime Juice
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Red or Cayenne Pepper
- 1 serving Roasted Red Peppers
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 cup Organic Tahini
- 1/2 cup (8 fluid ounces) Water
Directions:
Although hummus is widely available at supermarkets, it's quick and easy to make at home-and much, much less costly. Roasted red peppers are available in jars in the condiment aisle. Serve this spicy version with crudités or low-carb soy chips.
- Purée chickpeas, lime juice, olive oil, tahini, roasted red pepper, garlic, cumin, salt and cayenne in food processor until smooth.
- With the motor running, pour water slowly through feed tube until hummus reaches desired consistency.
- Transfer to a bowl and serve right away or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Makes about 3 cups, each serving is 3 tbsp.
