Preparation
1-2 cans garbanzos 1/4 - 1/2 cup fat-free yogurt (opt).
1 T lemon juice 2-4 garlic cloves, minced or crushed 1 Pn
pinch of coriander 4 - 6 drops of toasted sesame oil*
* (optional, negligible fat, adds flavor) Must be TOASTED SESAME OIL
(I found in Asian food section of HFS.Very strong flavor, a bottle
should last for years)
Mash garbanzos (I mash with a potato masher, then run in batches in
blender, because I like my hummus smooth) Mix in everything else,
tasting as you go along. Salt can be added, if you like. I also add
some red pepper on the top before serving. Chilling seems to mix the
flavors. Serve with pita wedges.
With the sesame oil you really get the taste without all the fat. Play
around with it. I have never tasted hummus that was the same, it all
varies depending on who makes it! Oh yes, cucumber goes well with
this (on top of pita wedge).
Enjoy! Tyrrell in Texas Tyrrell Courtney

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
The problems associated with reduced carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is really safe for you?
Multiple studies recently have shown that eating too much animal fat causes increased probability of cancer, heart conditions and other inflammatory disorders.
Eating more animal-based products might lead into increased consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which most authorities believe will increase the risk of heart disease.
Foods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes lettuce, asparagus, scarlet runner bean & cayenne)
The nutrients known as flavonoids found in these natural foods are believed to be good in fighting cancer.
Researchers studying the medical effects of flavonoids believe that they may well also have numerous health benefits, including antiviral and anti-platelet capabilities.
Most also have a low calorie count, so are ideal for including in your diet system.
