Curry and Ginger Hummus

• So here is my recipe for homemade ginger and curry hummus.  It's so good, so easy but also so healthy!  Once you master this of course the options become unlimited...just think spinach and artichoke hummus, roasted bell pepper hummus...the options go on and on!!!  I will say this is something I would prepare for a day or two days before hand it can be made all in one day, but depends on how much of a hurry your in.  I like to enjoy this with some nice crunch french bread some special cheese and maybe some nice veggies!
  
  
  What you need:
  
  
  3 cups dry garbanzo beans, soaked overnight
• 1/2 tsp of curry powder
• 1/2 tsp of fresh ground ginger(or powdered ginger)
• 3/4 cup tahini paste
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
  
  
  •   2 1/2 TBS of minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  •  
  
  

  Directions:(after allowing beans to soak in water overnight)

• Rinse the garbanzo beans and and place in a pot. Fill with enough water to cover by at least 1 inch.  Bring to a boil and then simmer over medium heat until the beans are very soft, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Drain the beans and place in bowl filled of water(can save the boiled water) and chill in fridge overnight reserving the water to use later
•  Transfer the beans to a blender or if you have a hand blender, a large bowl.  If you guys are gonna use a bowl to blend it just know it will be more chunky, but still taste delicious.  Blend the beans until smooth, adding some of the reserved water to help it blend. 
• Add the tahini and blend in along with the lemon juice.
•  Blend in the garlic and cumin 
• Then pour your hummus into a bowl and mix in your ginger, curry and salt
• Spread the hummus into a flat serving dish and garnish  and a drizzle of olive oil.and enjoy
