Hummus

Homemade hummus: We bought some dry beans from the farmers market so we started with the dry beans instead of the beans in the can. The process took a lot longer because we had to cook the beans first. But, we supported local agriculture and it was nice to see our little beans plump up. The onion and garlic we added were from the farm, but the oil and tahini we bought at the store. The first time we made hummus we split the beans and Jamie and I each made our own. Of course his was better.
Garbanzo beans are not one of our staple food items, but I want to try to incorporate it more in our diet.
