Hummus

I've been looking at hummus recipes around and about, and decided I'm going to try one tomorrow, keeping the ingredients I like and nixing the ones I don't. Here goes:

Ingredients

5 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups cooked chick peas (or one can)
1 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup tahini
3 lemons, freshly squeezed
1 T olive oil
½ tsp freshly ground pepper

Directions
Combine all ingredients, blend until smooth.

My parents have a lemon tree, which might have some fruit on it right now. I'm not sure where my pepper is right now, as I just moved, so I'll need to find that. And tahini...I guess trader joe's might be the best place to find that? Not sure. I'll also want some pita bread :)

Will update this post after I've tried it.

Here's the nutrition information for a 2 tbsp (1/8 cup) serving

So I just finished making the hummus and it's delicious. It was a little difficult to get it fully blended; I was using my Magic Bullet and it was mixing well in about half of the vertical volume but the mixing action didn't reach the other half, so I kept reaching in there with a spoon and trying to integrate the layers. It seemed to work out in the end.

Very yummy!
