OK there are lots of good hummus recipes out there but several people have asked, so here's mine. First off, you will notice there is no garlic. Raw garlic and I do not get along so I don't put any in and I'm happy that way. Roasted garlic would be nice but I rarely have any laying around so... Feel free to added a clove or two of crushed garlic if you like.
Ingredients
1 540 ml (19 oz) can of chick peas, drained, save some liquid
1-2 T of tahini (in a pinch you can also use peanut butter but it's better with tahini)
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2- 1 tsp cumin (to taste)
Salt (and pepper if desired)
(Most recipes call for olive oil but I don't use any and don't miss it.)
Method
Dump chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, and S&P into food processor. Add 1-2 T of reserved liquid. Process until smooth, adding more liquid if needed.
Can be eaten with pita, raw veggies, or my favourite, a spoon.
Store in fridge if you don't eat the whole thing at one sitting. :)
If you want to use dry chickpeas, COOK THEM FIRST! (Right Gordon? ;)
Quite a few calories, but I figure they're good ones.

No ogarlic and no olive oil? 2 of my favorite ingredients! Hummus is great.
Yeah, I know, so un-classic eh? But I can't stomach the garlic and I'm trying to keep the fat/calorie content down so no oil. :)
