Low Fat Hummus Recipe4 servings
Try this low fat hummus recipe. We flavored it with fresh lemon juice and lots of spices and we like it a lot. Add a bit more salt if needed for your tastes.  16 oz cooked garbanzo beans 1/4 oz minced garlic fresh cilantro leaves (optional) 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp parsley flakes 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp cayenne 1/4 tsp salt 2 oz fresh lemon juice water, as needed In a medium-small wide bowl, weigh garbanzos and garlic. If you like cilantro, add a handful of fresh cilantro leaves. Into a small dry bowl, measure ground cumin, parsley flakes, onion powder, cayenne, and salt. In a glass measuring cup, weigh fresh lemon juice. Transfer garbanzos, garlic, and cilantro to food processor. Add spices and lemon juice. Then put about a cup of water in the glass measuring cup and set it aside. You will only use a little of it! Begin to process the mixture. Scrape the sides of the food processor once in a while. Process until well-mixed. With the machine running, slowly pour a little water down the feed tube, until you have the right consistency. Be careful. Hummus is a spread and a dip. If you add too much water, you will have garbanzo bean mush! Comments: Garbanzo beans naturally contain a bit more fat than most of the other beans. They have a rich, buttery taste that makes this low fat hummus delicious just the way it is. Traditional hummus contains tahini (sesame seed paste) and olive oil. It is a high fat food and not good for weight loss.
