I'm in love with humus. All kinds. Is it one of those foods that seems like a good thing but really is not that great for you? Do you have a good recipe for it so that I don't have to spend over $5 for a good container of it? My favorite right now is the roasted red pepper.
No, hummus is definitely not a sham! It's very good for you and also cheap if you make it yourself- the tahini can be kinda pricey depending on where you buy it but if you look around you can find a deal- Trader Joes is usally good. I have a recipe for roasted red pepper hummus that I like a lot:
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-15oz can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste- usually found with the mediterranean foods)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup roasted red peppers (get them jarred in water, not oil)
1/4 tsp dried basil
Just throw it all in a blender and process until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste at the end.
