HUMMUS

Recipe Adapted from edible Hawaiian Islands
No electricity? No problem! This hummus recipe is super easy to make in a mortar and pestle. Find the youngest, most energetic keiki and put them to work, washing their hands first. As with all recipes, you can adjust the recipe to your taste. You can eat the hummus on its own or smear it on chips, bread or add it to any sandwich. Since water may be limited just drain the garbanzo beans but save the juice for this recipe.
