Hummus with Wheat Pita Bread



After doing a lot of research and trying out various hummus recipes, I developed this one on my own. Hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients

1 15 oz can of reduced sodium garbanzo beans (when draining the can, reserve the juice in a cup)
3 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. olive oil plus a little more for drizzling after
3-4 large garlic cloves, pressed or minced (depends on how garlic-tasting you want it)
2 tbsp. tahini
Dash of Kosher salt and white ground pepper
Dash of paprika

Combine the beans, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, tahini, salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds.



Add a little (about a couple of tbsp) of the garbanzo juice to the mix and pulse again--this gets it creamy. If your hummus isn't creamy enough, just add more juice.



After it's at the consistency you want, put it in a bowl, sprinkle paprika and drizzle a little more olive oil on top. Serve with wheat pita bread. Enjoy!
