The ingredients for Microwave Hummus are:

2-15 oz cans chickpeas UNDRAINED
2 garlic cloves or to taste
1/2 cup tahini
6 Tbsp lemon juice or to taste (about 2 lemons)
4 dashes hot sauce
1/8 tsp cayenne or to taste
OPTIONAL: Fresh or dried herbs of your choice

Here is how you make Microwave Hummus:

1. Microwave the chickpeas in their juice along with the garlic cloves, for 7 or 8 minutes on high. This softens the outside skin of the chickpeas and mellows the rawness of the garlic. 2. Let the chickpeas cool down a bit. Drain off and reserve about half of the juice. Pour the chickpeas and garlic with the remaining juice into a food processor or blender.3. Add the rest of the ingredients and pur?e until you have your desired consistency. If the hummus is too thick for your taste, add some of the reserved juice.Serving Size: Makes 8 approx. 1/2 cup servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DESERTBLUECAT.
