Maggie Makes The Veggie Queen’s Hummus


Hummus is one of my all-time favorite foods! When I saw this recipe for hummus in The Veggie Queen cookbook, I had to make it. Hummus is also simple to make. All you have to do is throw everything into a food processor or blender and it’s done. This recipe is fantastic! I have never seen a hummus recipe that uses Bragg liquid aminos. I think it really adds a lot of flavor. This hummus doesn’t have any added oils like most store bought hummus. Talk about saving calories!

Hummus

Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 to  2 cups garbanzo beans

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon reduced sodium tamari or Bragg liquid amino acids
2 to 4 tablespoons water


Directions:
Put garlic in food processor to be sure that it gets well chopped.

You can enjoy this simple dish as a dip for fresh veggies or pita bread, or add it to a sandwich. Either way, you’ll love it. If not, well, you might just be crazy!
