Hummus

2 cloves garlic
¼ cup lemon juice
14 oz (400g) canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)—rinsed and drained
½ cup tahini

Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth, scraping the sides occasionally.
Variations: If you like a spicier hummus, add a small red chili (chopped) or a pinch of cayenne pepper, or try a little cumin for a more exotic variation.

Here is another way to do it:

2 cloves garlic—roughly chopped
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup water14 oz (400g) canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)—rinsed and drained
½ cup tahini
1 teaspoon sea salt

Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth.

This is a different type of "hummus".I made it and also added some jalepeno peppers(not required but damn good!!)

1 jalapeno seeded and cut into strips (optional) or 1 scotch bonnet(my fav)

Steam green beans for 10 minutes in about a cup of water until tender, yet firm. Rinse beans under cold water when done. Meanwhile, place remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor. Add cooked beans. Blend 2 minutes or until creamy. Serve with crackers.Also not required but can be substituted is Sri Racha chinese hot sauce available @ the market on Ottawa Street in the back left corner clear bottle bright red sauce and green lid...This is in my opinion the best all-in-one sauce I have ever eaten and trust me when I say I've tried a whole whack of hot sauce in my days and this is the BEST tasting sauce that will not make you sing the old Johnny Cash tune "ring of fire".
