Hummus

Our wonderful Peace Corps cookbook comes with a recipe for hummus. Since I found garbanzo beans in Voi, I've been experimenting with them, so this seemed like a fun challenge. I was skeptical of the book's suggestion to replace the tahini (very hard to find) with peanut butter (much easier to find), but it actually worked rather well. My creative substitution that worked less well was roasting the garlic in margarine and using vegetable oil in place of the olive oil (not very hard to find, but pretty extravagant on my salary). All in all, it was a pretty satisfying (and nutritious) dinner. And then I washed it down with some Kool-aid. Always classy.
