Equipment

  • 1 blender or food processor
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cups
  • 1 plate
  • 1 fork
  • 1 wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh spinach packed
  • 4 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon juice only
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/8 tsp. coriander
  • 1 tsp. sea salt or Kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup tahini sesame paste
  • 1/3 cup fresh chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese plus more for garnish
  • 15 oz. can garbanzo beans drained but reserve the liquid (chick peas)
  • 1/2 cup reserved garbanzo bean liquid

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor or emulsion blender, place olive oil, garlic, lemon, tahini, cumin, coriander, salt and red pepper flakes.
  • Add spinach, parsley and Feta cheese.
  • Add reserved garbanzo bean liquid.
  • Mash garbanzo beans (chick peas) on a plate with a fork.
  • Add to mixture in blender.
  • Process until smooth.
  • This may take a few minutes.
  • You may have to stir ingredients every few seconds with a wooden spoon to keep the hummus from bogging down.
  • To serve, spread hummus in a serving bowl and sprinkle more Feta cheese on top for garnish.

Notes

NOTE: One-half cup of reserved liquid seems like a lot. But that’s how much I had to use to make a creamy, almost spreadable consistency.
 
NOTE: Stuff as much spinach as you can get in a cup. I used about three to four ounces total of spinach.
