Hearty Hummus

This hummus recipe was given to me by my aerobics instructor and it is the best I have ever had. The store bought does not even compare! I usually eat 1/4 cup with celery directly after my workout. Enjoy!


1 can chick peas (or 1/2 bag dried and double recipe)
1/4 cup tahini (Found in the Asian section. It is ground sesame seeds)
2 tsp fresh parsley
1 (or more) clove garlic
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
2 tsp chopped onion
1 Tbsp soy sauce
5-6 sprigs cilantro
splash of olive oil

Place all ingredients in food processor and process until smooth. Serve with veggies or pita bread.

1/2 bag dry and recipe doubled makes approx. 7 cups and 1/4 cup has approx. 105 calories by my calculations.
