One of the things I miss about the U.S. is Trader Joe's. Specifically the cilantro-jalapeno hummus. So I decided to take matters into my own hands. I looked up a few different recipes for hummus and created my own. I just put garbanzo beans, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon, and hot sauce into a food processor and mixed it all together until it tasted right. Disclosure: I made another batch about a week ago and put wayyyy too much garlic in it and it was pretty
terrible potent. So be careful. This is what I used yesterday:
1 jar cooked garbanzo beans, rinsed
1 clove garlic
olive oil (I eye-balled it)
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
a few shakes of cayenne pepper
a few squeezes of lemon juice
hot sauce to taste
Blend together in a food processor and voila! Serve with veggies, pita bread/chips, or on toast :)

Up next, sun-dried tomato hummus!
ps- I cook more here than I did in Sacramento... weird
