What You'll Need

1. 1 garlic clove
2. 2 lemons (or limes)
3. 1 can chickpeas (garbanzos)
4. 1 can black olives
5. 1 tablespoon olive oil
6. chopped vegetables (peppers & onions)
7. capers
8. cayenne pepper (until now, my secret ingredient)

What To Do

• Mince the garlic or mash it with a garlic press

• Measure and mix all the ingredients  in a bowl.

• Squeeze the lemons in to the mix.

• Mash with a fork to blend well. (For a smoother hummus, you can blend the ingredients in a blender.)

• Season with salt and/or pepper.

  

• Serve with chopped vegetables, pita bread, or crackers.

• It's also yummy as a sandwich spread.
