1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained well
2 Tablespoons tahini
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, chopped
ground black pepper
6-8 sun-dried tomatoes
Place all ingredients in a food processor and process for a few minutes until smooth. Refrigerate for a few hours for flavors to blend, then enjoy as a spread on sandwiched, a dip with pita and vegetables, or a garnish on burgers.
Hummus is a delicious and nutritious vegetarian snack or meal accompaniment. I have had store-bought varieties before, but I don't think I could ever go back after making this homemade version. It only takes minutes to make, and will last in the refrigerator for a few days, or in the freezer for longer storage, if you still have some left. It is super tasty and so versatile. The flavors may be varied as well - instead of a sun-dried tomato version, try roasted red pepper, spinach and basil, or olive and cheese. I enjoyed some with toasted pita bread and my tabbouleh salad from yesterday.
