A long-time staple in ethnic dining, hummus has become a mainstream favorite. Creamy, garlicky and dairy-free, it's the classic that's ready in a snap, when you make it with La Criolla Chick Peas (garbanzos). Serve with pita bread, crackers or your favorite raw vegetable.

1 can (15 oz.) La Criolla Chick Peas (garbanzos), drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp. La Criolla Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. La Criolla Ground Garlic
2 Tbsp. tahini paste
1/4 tsp. La Criolla Ground Cumin (optional)
3 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. chopped parsley
La Criolla Salt and La Criolla Black Pepper to taste

In a food processor or blender, combine La Criolla chick peas, oil, lemon juice, garlic, tahini paste, cumin and water. Process until the mixture is a creamy puree, adding additional tablespoons of water if needed. Stir in parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste.
