Homemade Hummus and a Quick Meal Greek Wrap

Now that you know how to roast a bulb of garlic I can tell you some great recipes to make with the roasted cloves!  They give a milder garlic taste then raw garlic. 

There are so many different varieties of Hummus in stores today, but do you know how easy it is to make FRESH hummus at home?!  I have a great recipe for a basic hummus, try experimenting with different flavors like Kalamata Olive or Roasted Red Pepper!

Ingredients:
1 Can Chickpeas or 1 1/2 Cups Re-hydrated dried Chickpeas.
3 Roasted Garlic Cloves
3 Tbsp Water or Liquid from the Chickpeas
2 Tbsp Tahini (sesame paste)
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Lemon Zest
1/2 tsp Salt

We like a slightly chunkier hummus so I add half of the chickpeas to the blender and then add all of the other ingredients.  Once everything is well blended add the rest of the chickpeas and pulse until incorporated.  If you find any chickpeas still intact, mash them with a fork and mix by hand.

If you like a creamier hummus, just add everything to the blender at once and blend until creamy. 

Now that you've made your own hummus, here's a quick meal to make with it.  Or you could just eat it with a spoon :)

Quick Meal: Greek Wrap
Whole Wheat Wrap
Hummus
Feta Cheese
Kalamata Olives
Lettuce

Spread the hummus on your wrap, don't be shy about it... It tastes great and counts as your protein for this meal, that means it will help to make you feel fuller longer.  Top the hummus with your cheese and olives (I decided not to cut them, but do what ever makes you happy)

Top everything with your lettuce, fold and enjoy!
