YUMMUS!

I'm not afraid to admit that the past week I've been obsessed with one thing: perfecting my hummus recipe.  I think I'm there.


1 can chick peas (I find not calling them garbanzo beans really helps the flavor)
2-3 T. olive oil
1/2 T. sesame oil
2 cloves garlic
5 kalamata olives
juice of 1/2 a lemon
a dash of kalamata olive juice
dash of cumin
dash of red pepper flakes
salt and pepper

Set your blender to pulverize.  Garnish with a few sliced olives on top.  Ohhhh yeahhh.

Our favorite restaurant's hummus was the inspiration; their blend is very smooth, lighter in color and a little "looser" than store-bought and I think that's what we love about it so much.
