The "Garbonzo Spread" and "Sundried Tomato Spread" can be served on veggies, toast, bread, pita or chips.

3 cloves of garlic
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Lemon juice (to taste, about a tablespoon)
Salt (to taste).



In a food processor, chop the garlic with ½ of the olive oil.  Next add the beans the lemon juice salt and the rest of the olive oil and process till smooth. Serve with raw vegetables, pita, or tortilla chips.
