Slow Cooker Hummus
Did you know that hummus is really easy and to make and you can make several cups worth for less than $2 in about 5 minutes, plus cooking time? It is as simple as dumping a bag of dried chick peas into a crock pot, covering them with water and letting them cook for 4-5 hours. On a side note- some people call chick peas garbanzo beans, but I think chick peas sounds much better, don’t you? Once your chick peas are cooked, add some sea salt, garlic, olive oil, cumin and lemon juice. Blend it until it is well pureed and you’re in business. Set aside as much as you want for the next few days and take the remainder and place it but the scoopful onto a cookie sheet covered in wax paper. Once the scoops are frozen, store them in a freezer bag and pull out individual servings on an as needed basis. - See more at: http://thischickcooks.net/2011/08/01/slow-cooker-hummus-recipe-and-tips-on-freezing-hummus/#sthash.PpIaJKOU.dpuf

Add beans to a 2 quart slow cooker and add enough water to cover, plus another inch. Cook on high for about 4-5 hours, or until the chick peas can be easily smashed with the back of a fork. Check periodically to make sure the water hasn’t gotten too low in the cooker. If it does add some more very hot water. Once the peas are ready, remove them from the cooker using a slotted spoon and put them into your food processor. Keep the fluids from cooking the peas because you’ll need some of it later! Now, add all remaining ingredients to the food processor and blend until smooth. Add additional reserved fluids by the tablespoonful until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. - See more at: http://thischickcooks.net/2011/08/01/slow-cooker-hummus-recipe-and-tips-on-freezing-hummus/#sthash.8ZjFsxV3.dpuf
