Tasty Hummus

This is perfect as a sandwich spread, or a dip for fresh veggies and pita slices.

Anyone who lives in Singapore understands how difficult it is to find good hummus.  Luckily, one of my favorite cookbooks, 1000 Jewish Recipes, has a few to choose from!  I took tidbits from each recipe and adapted them into my own, delicious version.  You can add lemon juice and/or water to achieve your desired consistency, without affecting the points value.  Adding olive oil will increase the total points (1 point per tsp).
You can also sprinkle toasted pine nuts over the hummus - note this will affect the points value.

• 3-4 medium cloves garlic, peeled
• 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 3 Tbsp tahini (sesame paste, or sometimes called sesame butter), stirred before measuring
• 1/4 cup strained fresh lemon juice (start with this and add more to taste)
• 1/2 cup water
• salt, to taste
• cayenne pepper, to taste
• 2 tsp olive oil

1. Mince garlic in food processor.  Add chickpeas and process to chop.
2. Add tahini to food processor.  Add 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup water; puree until finely blended.  Add more lemon juice if desired.  Add more water as necessary so that the hummus has consistency of a smooth spread.
3. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and cayenne

Total Points = 30
Don't ask me how, but Weight Watchers online determined the following...
Points per serving (for 10 servings) = 2
Points per serving (for 8 servings) = 3
