Note: While the boys are in school and the hubs is at work, I like to have a lunch of something that they wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. Enter this recipe for olive hummus!


Olive Hummus


Ingredients:

1 can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

2T. olive oil

2 T. lemon juice

1/2 C. pitted olives

pinch of salt

fresh ground pepper to taste



Directions:
Put all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth, scraping the bowl down occasionally. The hummus can be thinned with water if necessary. All amounts can and should be adjusted to suit your own taste!

Serve drizzled with a bit of olive oil and a sprinkling of chopped olives, if desired. Serve with pita, crackers, corn chips or it can be used as a sandwich spread.
