Hummus is a delicious dip from the Middle East. A bit of hemp oil makes it even more nutritious and delicious.

| Directions | Place the cooked chick peas (it’s ok if they’re still warm) in the food processor along with the garlic, lemon juice, and 2 T hemp oil. Process for about a minute, until smooth. If too thick, add more liquid.
Stir in the tahini, taste, and add more lemon juice/tahini/garlic as appropriate. Spread the hummus into a shallow bowl, drizzle with hemp oil, and garnish with lemon slices and minced parsley. Serve chilled, with warm pita bread and/or fresh vegetables. |
| Notes | Hummus is eaten in many different countries, so there are a lot of variations, especially in spices. Experiment to find what you like best.
