Basic Hummus with Flax-Seed oil




I LOVE this hummus! Even if hummus is not your favorite you must try it!  


Soak 1 cup of Garbanzo beans overnight and discard the water, rinse well.

Cook them with 1/4 of roughly cut med size onion, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and 3 cloves of garlic in 1 quart of filtered water until the beans are soft. Save 1 1/2 cup of liquid and drain rest of them.

Add:
1/4 uncooked chopped med size onion
2-3 fresh minced garlic
1/2 to 1 cup flax seed oil
1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
4 Tablespoons lemon juice or juice from 1 lemon 
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or according to taste)
1cup (or more)  liquid they were cooked in

Blend in a Vita Mix or your regular blender. Add the liquid until desired consistency. Set a side for an hour before you eat it for best results! If it is still too thick then you can add more flax seed oil or liquid from the beans.

Ideas for serving:

* With flat bread wraps or veggies such as cucumbers, spinach, tomatoes, carrots, sprouts, lettuce and sweet red peppers.
* No bake hummus pizza
* Sandwiches.
* Hummus zucchini veggie rolls
* Also you can eat with chips, pita bread or you can use it as a veggie dip for carrots and celery.
