Original Recipe Yield 2 1/2 cups
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained (reserve liquid) and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions
