GF Hummus

When I'm not into making bread or out of supplies, this is what I make for Steele's lunches. He eats in on tortilla chips and digs it bigtime.

1 can Garbanzo beans
1 1/2t Lemon juice
1t minced Garlic
1/4t salt
2T Olive juice
10 olives
1 cup Tahini (Sesame Seed Paste, I find mine at Publix)

Dump beans and the juice from the can, lemon juice, garlic, salt, olives and juice into
a pan and simmer until garbonzos are soft.

Let this sit for about 10 minutes.
Toss into food processor or use heavy duty mixer stick. (The thunder stick, I love ours!) Puree.
When your bean base has become smooth add the tahini and puree again.
Tahini thickens when put into hot stuff, so this will thick up on you.
Taste it. More salt? More garlic? More lemon? More tahini?

Steele likes it when it's about the same consistency as peanut butter, maybe a little thinner. The thickness is dependent on the amount of liquid in the bean base and the amount of tahini you use.

I've tried it without the green olives because our other children profess an undue hatred of green olives. However, they don't like the hummus as much unless I sneak olives into it. Once it's pureed they'll never know. Unless you get busted.

Optional additions:
Sun dried tomatoes
Fresh basil and rosemary (if you're into the herb-y thing)
