Hummus

We are coming up on Super Bowl Sunday, which means snack time. I have two snacking ideas that are essentially diametrically opposed to each other. I am going to start with the healthier of the two.

I do like to occasionally eat something relatively healthy, and Hummus is one of my go-to good snacks. For me, Hummus is essentially a garlic delivery system. It consists of garbanzo beans, tahini, olive oil and some garlic for flavor. That’s not to discount the importance of the lemon juice and parsley.

The original version of this recipe came from… well you could probably guess… a Good Eats episode. In this episode, AB was focusing on easy recipes from the pantry, that involved beans. The original is available on the Food Network website, and is called Turbo Hummus. My only modification is to change the Peanut Butter back to Tahini. It would be interesting to try this with peanut butter.
