For the Hummus:

• 1 cup dried garbanzo beans
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup tahini
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1-1/2 teaspoons Garlic Salt 
• 1 teaspoon Bay Leaf Black Pepper Meyer Lemon Paste 

Garnish:

• 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Spice 
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Soak garbanzo beans overnight. Discard soaking water, and place in a pot and cover with water by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for 30-40 minutes until tender. Strain and reserve cooking liquid.

Place all ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender. Add just enough of the cooking liquid to get the mixture moving. Process to desired consistency and add more cooking liquid if needed. 

Note: You can also substitute (2) 15 oz. cans of garbanzo beans, drained, for this recipe - just use water in place of the cooking liquid.

Garnish hummus with a sprinkle of our Everything Bagel Spice.
