Well let me tell you something- I love me some hummus! And when I first thought about making it I was nervous that it was going to be some horribly complicated recipe. Now let me tell you something else... it is one of the easiest things I have ever made. And let's not allow the lack of things I've made cloud your judgment.
So this morning I literally whipped up some hummus, and about one hour later my one-year-old had finished off about half off the batch. She may possibly be the only toddler that requests 'hummmmmmiiiis and peeeeta' every time I ask her what she would like to eat. Talk about a picky eater!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 cups garbanzo beans (if dry soak rinse and drain, if canned rinsed and drained)
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:
Step 1: Using flat beater mash up beans for about 3 minutes moving your way up to level 4 slowly.
Step 2: Mix in the remaining ingredients on level 4 (still with the flat beater) for about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Switch mixer to the whip beater and set to level 4 for 2 min.
Step 4: Plate and serve with pita chips, vegetables or your favorite cracker!
Tips:
*I was reading reviews and saw that many people opted for olive oil instead of the vegetable oil. I tried both. The vegetable blend seemed more watery to me. So my suggestion is to 'listen to the people' use the olive oil.
*Canned garbanzo beans smell like tuna fish. If you are experiencing morning sickness, as I am, I suggest you wait til it passes before you open up that can. Luckily after rinsing the smell subsides and you are about to enjoy this delectable delight!
Enjoy!
