The Great Balancing Act

Peanut Butter Hummus

• One can garbanzo beans/chickpeas + half of the liquid
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• salt & pepper to taste

Put all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. I recommend draining the liquid from the canned chickpeas into bowl, and adding the liquid as you go until you get the consistency you like. I like my hummus thick, but some people like it a little more creamy :) This hummus isn’t quite as pungent as the regular kind, as the peanut butter gives it a really nice nutty undertone.
