Instructions for Chipotle Hummus

Puree all ingredients except bean liquid in a food processor. Gradually add the minimum amount of chickpea liquid required to give the mixture a thick, creamy, smooth consistency. Blend until all graininess is gone. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

The perfect snack to have on hand in the fridge - serve with pita chips, bagel chips, or regular pita bread. This is a great addition to a potluck, and travels well for picnics and car trips. Makes good sandwiches too - with cucumbers, lettuce (or sprouts), tomatoes, and red onions. [I posted this recipe.]
