Hillbilly Hummus

Just so you know, it's hillbilly hummus because I adapted the recipe from a friend. Lol

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro
3 cloves of garlic
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 lemon juice and zest
1 tsp ground red pepper
t Tbsp cumin
3 Tbsp oil
1/4 cup peanut butter

Wash the cilantro and divide the bunch in half. Let dry on paper towel while you drain and rinse the chick peas. Cut the half of a bunch of cilantro into 3 pieces. Put all the ingredients into a food processor and just run it until everything is creamy. I usually stop when everything is smooth but there are tiny pieces of cilantro still visible.

Put it into a bowl and refridgerate until it's eaten.
It usually lasts about 3 days here and that is only because I hide it when I first make it. We don't like the store bought hummus and this costs about 1/4 of the store bought stuff.
