Vegan since 1975, I decide to answer the question, "What DO you eat?" These posts tell about some meals and recipes my family and I have enjoyed over the years.

Cilantro Hummus

I had a request for HUMMUS and pita chips today. I had defrosted a small container of home-cooked garbanzo beans already, so all that was necessary was to buy a bag of pita chips and use a small food processor to blend the following ingredients together:
 
Ingredients
1 can — garbanzo beans (chick peas), or the equivalent
2 Tblsp. — tahini sesame paste
1 lg — lemon, juiced
1 — garlic clove
1 tsp — tamari soy sauce
½ tsp — olive oil
1 small bunch — fresh cilantro or parsley
 
I used the cilantro for a different taste and liked it. Another time I stirred a small jar of capers into the hummus. If you don’t have pita chips, toast some bread or use chips or carrot sticks to scoop it up.
