Okara hummus

1 cup okara
1 lb canned chick-pea (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 fresh lemon juice
6 garlic cloves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (more if you like a thinner hummus)
2 tablespoon tahini
salt and pepper

Saute the garlic cloves in olive oil until golden brown. (This eliminates the garlic "kick" that a lot of people find offensive, and the flavor of roasted garlic adds a warm taste to the hummus.).

add the chickpeas to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.

Add all of the other ingredients. Adjust the seasonings to taste.

Serve with raw vegetable crudites, crackers, or toasted pita points.
