Homemade Hummus

• 2 c. dried garbanzo beans
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 Tbsp. Frontier brand Mexican seasoning mix (or cumin, turmeric, chilies, onion powder, paprika, oregano and cayenne pepper)
• 6 cloves garlic, crushed
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 3 Tbsp. mellow white miso
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 2/3 c. raw sesame tahini

1. Soak beans in 6 cups water overnight, then rinse well.
2. Drain. Place beans in crock-pot (high) for 10 to 12 hours until quite soft.
3. Cook also with 3 cloves of the garlic, 5 cups of water, onion and Mexican seasoning mix.
4. When done, place beans in food processor (use a slotted spoon so most of broth is left in crock-pot).
5. Blend with lemon, remaining 3 cloves garlic, white miso, olive oil, cayenne and tahini.
6. Add more broth little by little as needed to make a smooth paste.
7. You can find miso and tahini at health food markets.
8. This makes great sandwiches with mayo, avocado, sprouts and grated carrots.
