Recipe - Hummus

I've posted a lot of our favorite recipes here, and it's the first place I look when I'm making something. I make hummus frequently and I'm always surprised to find that I haven't posted it yet.

HUMMUS

15 oz. can garbanzo beans*, drained and juice reserved
2 T. nonfat plain yogurt (this is not vanilla yogurt!)
2 large garlic cloves
2 T. tahini (sesame seed paste--but I always substitute a drizzle of sesame oil)
2 T. lemon juice
1 t. ground cumin
2-4 T. reserved garbanzo bean juice

Put everything in food processor and zap until smooth. Serve with pita bread, sun chips, or ???


*Garbanzo beans: also called chickpeas, cece beans, or more affectionately butt beans (just LOOK at them!).
