Okara Hummus

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup okara
• 1 lb canned chick-peas (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (more if you like a thinner hummus)
• 1 tablespoon tahini
• salt and pepper

Recipe

• 1 saute the garlic cloves in olive oil until golden brown. (this eliminates the garlic "kick" that a lot of people find offensive, and the flavor of roasted garlic adds a warm taste to the hummus.).
• 2 add the chickpeas to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
• 3 add all of the other ingredients. adjust the seasonings to taste.
• 4 serve with raw vegetable crudites, crackers, or toasted pita points.
