Low fat hummus recipe with lentils

Stop paying for hummus at the store! Redirect your money to better causes. This low fat hummus recipe is easy to make, and is superior in taste to any chick pea hummus I ever made. Lentils make it smooth so oil is not required. Lentils are quick to cook, and can be cooked as a batch, for use in hummus and lentil soup. It tastes fantastic, and it is very healthy whole food meal. High in protein, smooth and silky, this hummus rocked my world. There is no cumin in it, I forgot to use it, and later found that without cumin the taste was only better :) You are free to add it if you like that familiar taste.
