A low fat homemade hummus without tahini.
Ingredients
Directions
- Heat olive oil in sauce pan and add (peeled) garlic cloves, oregano and red pepper flakes. Omit red pepper flakes if you don't want it spicy.
- Fry the garlic until slightly golden brown.
- Drain the canned garbanzo beans, reserving liquid. Add the drained beans to food processor.
- Add olive oil, garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes to the garbanzo beans.
- Add the juice of one lemon and the paprika then start the food processor. It might take a while for the beans to puree. Stop the food processor as needed to push beans down with a spatula.
- Add in garbanzo bean liquid to achieve desired consistency. Add in more of the spices and the salt to desired color and taste.
- Note: a serving is 1/4 cup.

cut down on the olive oil - if you want the tahini taste without the calories, add just 3 or 4 drops of toasted sesame oil.
the oregano makes this a little bitter. try blending/processing artichoke hearts with fat free italian dressing until smooth and add to ingredients for a creamy texture.
add lemon zest in place of the salt.
instead of red pepper flakes - put very dried out sundried tomatoes in a clean coffee or spice grinder and make tomato powder. the flavor is fantastic! better than the paprika in taste, although the paprika is high in anti-oxidants.
