Low Cal Hummus recipe?

I'm currently searching for a low calorie ( preferably garlic) hummus recipe :) I have chick peas and tahini just sitting in the pantry asking to be turned to hummus~ Anyone know any good ones? :D

  • Drain your chickpeas and throw in a food processor. Add a tablespoon or two of the tahini. There's your basics. Add garlic (as much or as little as you like), some lemon juice and a bit of olive oil as a binder. Taste and add from there. I just recently had some with Flax seed in it.

    Love love love hummus!!

    Hummus in the Blender by Susan Voisin
    3 cups cooked chickpeas (or 2 15 oz cans, 1 drained)
    3/4 to 1 cup water or chickpea cooking broth (or liquid from 1 can of chickpeas)
    2-4 cloves garlic, peeled
    2 TB tahini
    2-4 TB fresh lemon juice
    1/4 to 1 tsp cumin
    1/4 tsp smoked paprika
    1/8-1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder or cayenne pepper
    Salt to taste

    Place all but the salt into the blender. Start blender on low, gradually increasing to high. Be sure to use a spatula to break up air pockets. If too thick, add small amounts of water at a time. Turn blender on highest speed until completely smooth. Taste and add any additional seasonings you wish, then blend again briefly. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Makes 8 servings.

    *The author suggests removing half the mixture from the blender, then blending the rest with other favorites, such as roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, chipotle chili peppers, roasted garlic, jalepeno peppers, black or green olives, balsamic vinegar, spinach, smoked salt, or Liquid Smoke.

    1 can of Chickpeas (540ml) drained and rinsed
    1/4 cup Olive Oil
    1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
    1 Teaspoon Cumin
    1 Garlic Clove

    Put in a food processor, pulse or blend until completely smooth.

    Makes a great starter base to branch off from.

    Since I have been using this recipe I stopped using tahini.
