THERE'S HUMMUS AMONG US
Ok, so not EVERYTHING I make has to have butter in it. I do have the ability to make healthful fare...and this is one of my healthiest dishes (and oh-so tasty too). It's great as an appetizer spread on chunks of pita or crackers, or used as a dip for raw vegies or pretzel rods. I am posting several "variations" to try, but...

Steps:
- 1. Note** Garbanzo beans are also called: chickpeas, ceci beans, chana, Indian peas, and Bengal gram...who knew? They are an EXCELLENT source of protein, folate and fiber.
- 2. Rinse and drain garbanzo beans. Dump them in food processor
- 3. Add remaining ingredients into food processor and whirl until smooth (may leave a few lumps if you like more texture).
- 4. If mixture is too pasty, add a little extra yogurt and/or EVOO and continue processing until it reaches desired consistency (like coarse peanut butter). Season to taste. Drizzle with a little extra EVOO and garnish with smoked paprika and parsley (if desired).
- 5. Once you have the basic hummus made...don't be afraid to MIX IT UP by trying your hand at one of the variations I posted (or make up your own). I invited a friend over a couple of weeks ago to teach her how to make this, and we made 5 different varieties.
- 6. Serve with pita pieces, crackers, pretzels, fresh vegies. Also great as a sandwich spread. Best of all, not only does it taste fabulous, it's GOOD for you.
- 7. Store in covered container in fridge. Will last a week or so.
