Starting the year out right - Homemade Hummus

Happy 2011!   As I get ready to head to the gym, I wanted to post a quick and easy recipe for Homemade Hummus that is just as good for you as it is delicious.   Always try to keep a few cans of Chick Peas in the pantry and a jar a Tahini too!

Homemade Hummus

Ingredients:

• 1 16 oz. can chickpeas, drained but liquid reserved
• 1/4 C chickpea liquid
• 3 clove garlic
• 5 T fresh lemon juice
• 2 T Tahini
• 1 t sea salt
• 2 T olive oil
• Paprika

Directions:   In a blender or food processor, mix chickpeas with 1/4 C of their liquid then add the garlic, lemon juice, tahini and sea salt.   Blend until smooth.

To serve, place into bowl and drizzle with the 2 T olive oil and dust with paprika.   Serve with crackers, warm pita or naan bread or fresh vegetables.

“Creating recipes have long been a passion of mine,” said Rider.   “I’ve been able to share my love of cooking through food blogs, catering and local demonstrations but the Craig Bushon Show takes it to a much higher broadcasting level and I’m honored to be working with such a professional team.”

“I am very excited about Stacey Rider joining our team with the Rider on Recipes segment, this is sure to be a big hit with our listeners. Stacey brings a down home but sophisticated perspective to cooking that you don’t want to miss,” said Craig Bushon.
