Tomato Basil Hummus

I love hummus and I love trying new recipes for hummus.  This one was very easy and is very tasty - especially with carrot sticks and chili fritos!

You'll need:

1 can chick peas, drained and liquid reserved
8 sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, plus a few more for garnish
2 T olive oil from the tomato jar
3 T fresh lemon juice
2 T tahini
1 large clove garlic
1/2 tsp salt
2 T packed fresh basil ribs, plus more for garnish

Add chick peas to food processor with tomatoes, 2 T oil from jar, lemon juice, tahini, garlic and salt.  Pulse one minute then scrape down sides and pulse one minute longer.  Add 2 T liquid from chick peas and pulse 2-3 minutes.  Add basil and pulse til just minced into hummus.

If desired, top with more olive oil and basil and finely chopped tomatoes.
