2 cans Garbanzo beans, drained with liquid reserved
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ tsp Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend *
Drain cans of Garbanzo beans and reserve liquid, place into blender. Add enough of the liquid until beans are covered then blend until a paste forms.
Add other ingredients, blend again. Add extra reserved liquid for desired consistency.
* I didn’t have any tahini paste, which is a typical ingredient in humus. If you have it and want to add, you will add 1/3 cup. Otherwise, it’s great without it.
* Also, you can substitute 1/2 tsp of each cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice for seasoning
You can sub any nut paste for tahini - peanut, walnut or almond butter would be yummy here! You can also sub in yogurt for *part* of the tahini to reduce the fat and add a nice creamy tang.
