Homemade Hummus

A cup of hummus has 60% of your daily fiber, about 1/3 of your iron, 20 grams of protein, various minerals and the fat content varies based on choice of additions to your recipe.  So it is a great condiment to add to crackers, flat bread. 

The store bought basic hummus is approximately $2.50 per cup.  Here is the cost break down for my homemade basic / traditional hummus.

1 lb dried chick peas cooked	$0.97
6 cloves garlic	$0.18
1 cup lemon juice	$0.57
1 cup Tahini	$3.00
1/2 fresh parsley	$0.00
	$4.72

Makes approximately 7 cups which brings the homemade cost down to $0.67 per cup and it is tasty!

Now I am looking forward to adding it to my deviled egg mix, stuffing it in to cherry tomatoes and roasting homegrown sweet peppers!
