CILANTRO HUMMUS

Cilantro - you either love it or hate it. But, if you love it, then this hummus recipe is for you! The smooth consistency of hummus is met with a sweet, pungent lemon flavor with a cilantro twist.


2 cups garbanzo beans, (I used dried and hydrate them but you can used canned)
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoons Diced Jalapeños
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt

If it is to dry just add more olive oil or water.

Place beans, cilantro, lemon juice, jalapeños, olive oil, garlic, cumin and salt in food processor; cover. Process until smooth. Serve with pita wedges or crackers.

Enjoy!

    Yes sorry John. I am not sure why I have onions in the picture they are not in the recipe. However I don't think it would hurt if you put them in.
