Stop! Hummu-time!

Slowly catching up to where I'm at with my cooking, woohoo! In the month of April I thought I was going to be great. I had all these good intentions. The first thing I made was Hummus, out of my Vitamix cookbook. It was only a couple days into the month....and then I didn't make anything else! Sooo, that's no good...but back to the hummus. It was okay, I have heard people have better luck with the roasted red pepper hummus. Also I might not have had really tasty olive oil. This was made for our all day gaming party, so I did not get the chance to take a nicer picture.

Hummus

2 15oz cans chickpeas, one drained, one with liquid
1/4 cup raw sesame seeds
1 tbs olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt

Place all ingredients into blender in the order listed. Put on your lid folks!

Start blender at lowest speed and slowly turn it up to about 80% power.

Blend for about 30 seconds.

Now that was nice and easy, wasn't it? It should work just fine with any blender, some will manage to make it a super smooth texture. One thing I did notice for sure was that the consistency wasn't was thick as I wanted it until I put it in the fridge and let it chill for a bit. Kind of makes sense, since that's how you buy hummus!
