HUMMUS

• 3 large cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 cans garbanzo beans, drained
• juice of two small lemons
• 3to 4 tablespoons yogurt
• 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• fresh parsley, chopped

Remove about a half cup and reserve.

Add lemon juice, yogurt, olive oil, cumin, coriander and sugar, and process till smooth, scraping down sides of bowl.

Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the reserved chopped garbanzos, combining well with spoon.

Taste and correct seasonings.

Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a dollop of olive oil.

Note: I put fresh lemons in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds before juicing them...I get a lot more juice from them this way.
