Hummus

Have any of you ever had the Tuscan hummus at the California Pizza kitchen???? It is seriously the BEST hummus I have ever had (although, admittedly, I haven't really tried too many different kinds of hummus). Well, I decided that I just HAD to have some one night and I came up with this recipe that's pretty similar:

Ingredients:
  • 1 tbl minced garlic
  • 1 150z can garbanzo beans
  • 1/4 cup reserved liquid from beans
  • 1 15 oz can great northern beans
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • dash of ground red pepper
  • dash of paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:

Reserving 1/4 cup liquid from the can of garbonzo beans, rinse and drain both cans of beans. Place in food processor along with reserved liquid. Add remaining ingredients. Mix in food processor until smooth. Make sure you stop food processor and scrape the side atleast once during the process to make sure all ingredients are incorporated. Store in a container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve with pita bread or veggies
