Have it Your Way Hummus


Hummus is a nice dip with a change of pace. You can take a basic recipe and easily adjust to your taste or what you have on hand. This recipe was inspired by Ina Garten of the Food Network. I used natural peanut butter because I couldn't locate tahini at my grocery store. Whip up a batch and grab a few crackers!

Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups canned chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup natural peanut butter
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
2 tablespoons water or liquid from the chickpeas
1/2 cup roasted peppers

Directions: 
Place all ingredients in food processor or blender and process until the hummus is coarsely pureed. Taste, for seasoning, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
