Ingredients




1 can (15z) chickpeas(Garbanzos)
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
teaspoon Ground cumin
1 small Garlic clove, minced, (I use at least twice this amount and let the blender do the min
1 pch Cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons Minced parsley, (I don't use)
1 tablespoon Minced red onion, (I don't use)

Preparation

1 Fat free hummus is easy. I do it about once a week. I use an Ornish recipe fat/T with 32 T in this recipe that's 1/4 g fat/T and I can handle it since I eat no dairy. 2 Drain chickpeas, reserving juice. Do not rinse. Transfer peas to a food processor or blender and blend with 1/2 c reserved chickpea juice, lemon juice, cumin, garlic and cayenne. Add parsley and red onion and pulse briefly just to mix. 3 I usually start with a smaller amount of the juice, adding more to get the consistency I want. I found 1/2 c to be too much. 4 By the way, hummus is caro here, too. It's even cheaper to make at home if you cook the beans yourself.
