Yesterday I cooked some dried garbanzo beans in the crockpot for about 4 hours on low... 2 cups beans and 4 cups water. 1 cup becomes 2.5 cups after re-hydrating.  Today I will make the following hummus..

Lemon Artichoke Hummus
1 15 oz can garbanzo beans (I will use half of the beans I cooked..2 cups)
14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained, chopped
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup tahini
salt to taste
chopped fresh parsley for garnish
toasted pine nuts for garnish
Place all ingredients in food processor or high-power blender. Blend until mixture is smooth and creamy. Spoon into serving bowl and serve with veggies, crackers, or pita chips.



All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.
