Hummus - I like it!

Enjoyed making hummus with Lily Forehand.  I think this will be a consistent staple  It is so good for us and anything that can be made better by adding spices works for me.

ingredients

• 1  15  ounce can 

  chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained

  Swanson® Vegetable Broth (Regular or Certified Organic)

directions

1.

Put the beans and broth in a food processor. Cover and process until the mixture is pureed.

2.

Add the tahini, lemon juice and garlic. Blend until the mixture turns lighter in color. With the machine running add the oil and blend until smooth. Spoon the hummus into a small bowl. Season to taste. Cover and let stand for at least 1 hour or until the flavors are blended.

3.

Diagonally cut the bread into 1-inch thick slices. Brush the bread slices with oil. Grill or broil the bread as directed below. Serve with dip.

Tips:

1.

To Grill: Lightly oil the grill and heat the grill to medium-high. Place the bread on the grill. Grill the bread for about 4 minutes or until lightly browned, turning the bread at a 90 degrees angle (making crisscross grill marks), halfway through cooking.

2.

To Broil: Heat the broiler. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet. Broil the bread so the top is 7 inches from the heat for 2 minutes or until lightly browned, turning over halfway through broiling.

3.

Recipe can easily be halved.
