Cilantro Hummus
Ingredients
1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 Tbsp. tahini
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp. salt (I used a little less)
pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 c. water (more or less depending on texture you want)
1 Tbsp. olive oil (more or less depending on texture you want)
1/4 c. cilantro (or more depending on preference) + a few extra for garnish
Preparation
1
In your food processor, add the garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt and cayenne. Turn on and pulse until mixture is fairly smooth.
2
Start processor running steady and slowly pour in the water, stopping to test the texture, then adding more water if you'd like.
3
Again, with motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil, adding more if you'd like.
4
Stop processor, taste and adjust seasonings, pulse and repeat taste testing until you have it the way you like it.
5
Add cilantro and pulse a few times.
6
Spoon out into a bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and cilantro if desired. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate.
7
Serve as a dip, spread or however you'd like!
