Simple Lebanese Hummus
Well, this week continues with a completely original hummus recipe. That’s right folks, you no longer have to go to the store and purchase a measly container for $3.50/ 4 ounces. I used a bag of dried chick peas which, disclaimer, is more time consuming than if you just purchased a few cans and tossed them into a food processor. Either way, making your own hummus is much more economically efficient and I venture to say, even more delicious.
I hope that those of you who are doing the beans and rice fast are staying strong! Quite honestly, it hasn’t been a difficult task as of yet. But then again, it’s only a few days in. And I hear that those who are experiencing withdraw are at the peak 5 days in.
Alright folks, here is another bean recipe! This one serves like 15 – 20 people, depending on how hefty the servings are…so soak, blend, and enjoy!
