• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin (more to liking)
• 1 teaspoon tamari (strong soy sauce) or 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Drain garbanzo beans, saving liquid.
Place beans and other ingredients in
blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth, adding 1-2 tablespoon
of saved liquid if necessary.

Thin to desired consistency. Best if refrigerated
