This Food Is Good!

This is my favorite hummus recipe. If you have the time, you can soak dried chickpeas for it, but I like to use a can of ready-to-go ones. They're $1.59, which I am okay with.

2 c. Chickpeas (drain them first)
1/4 c. Tahini
1/4 c. Lemon Juice
3 cloves of garlic
1 T. Oil (I use vegetable oil)
Small can of Chipotle Peppers
A quick dash of salt

Throw everything but the peppers in a blender and tap the pulse button until it is a consistent blend. In between pulses, add another pepper or two and keep tasting until it's as hot as you want it. Don't over-blend it though, it should be slightly chunky but still not creamy.

You can substitute the chipotle peppers with roasted red peppers, or skip the peppers all together and add in a few extra garlic cloves. I've made this recipe many different ways and it is very adaptable to different flavors.

This usually costs around $2.50 to make, assuming I don't use dried chickpeas which would make it even cheaper! Considering it makes three times the amount of something twice as expensive at the grocery, this is not a bad deal.
