This recipe was graciously shared with us by our teammate Jonathan.
Garbanzo beans (AKA chickpeas) are packed with fiber, which helps lower bad cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar. They also contain many trace minerals such as molybdenum to help clear sulfites from our body, folate which has been found to lower homocysteine (precursor to heart disease), and magnesium to help ease blood flow.
Ingredients (1 to 2 serving)
1 piece of flat bread, sprouted bread, or a large leaf of lettuce
1 can of organic garbanzo beans
(or for raw food diet, 6 oz. container of raw organic sprouted garbanzo beans)
1/4 cup tahini
fresh squeezed juice from 1 small lemon
1 ripe avocado
herbs de provence to taste
sea salt to taste (not too much)
Method
drain the garbanzo beans and save the liquid
in blender or food processor combine garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice and salt
puree the above ingredients to a consistency you desire, smooth or chunky
if the hummus mixture is too thick, thin it out with liquid saved from garbanzos
on top of sprouted bread, spread a layer of hummus (just made)
top it with few slices of avocado
add your herbs de provence to taste
garnish with shredded carrots, red cabbage, cucumbers, onions and tomatoes
