Hum Yum Hummus

Whatcha Need:

1 can(s) (15-ounce) garbanzo beans (also called chick peas), drained and rinsed

1 clove(s) garlic, peeled

1 jar(s) (7-ounce) roasted red peppers, minus the oil

1/4 cup(s) tahini (Find this sesame paste with international foods or peanut butter in the grocery store.)

Juice of half a lemon

1/4 teaspoon(s) salt

5 to 6 bagels, cut in half, or 2 or 3 pita rounds, cut in half

6 slice(s) cheese of your choice

Veggies of your choice (like cucumbers, sprouts, and tomato.)

How to do it:

Put the garbanzo beans, garlic, roasted red peppers, tahini, lemon juice, and salt in the food processor. Purée for about 1 minute until it is a smooth mush (hummus!). This hummus is on the soupy side when you first make it, but it thickens if you let it rest for a few minutes. I have no idea why.

Spread the hummus on the bottom half of each bagel, and layer with cheese and veggies.

Add the top half of the bagel and enjoy every yummy bite.
