Hummus

Hemalatha Jayaraman11:59am Dec 17

I am a big fan of Middle eastern/Mediterranean food. The flavours are great ...without too much heat or spice
Hummus:
1 cup boiled chickpeas - drained of all water
half cup extra virgin olive oil
2 spoons sour yogurt
1
pod garlic
salt
and pepper to taste
blend into a smooth creamy paste.
Sprinkle paprika/chilli powder on top

This is a great high protein substitute for butter in sandwiches.It can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days
Toast bread, use Hummus as a spread and add cucumber and tomato slices.
Quick healthy lunch.
