Ingredients:
2 cups 100% ground techina
3 cups water
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
5 garlic cloves
Combine all ingredients in food processor. Scrape sides, blend well. Taste and adjust seasonings. A bit watery, it will thicken overnight. Pour into individual cups. Freezes well and defrosts quickly; just place in a cup of hot water for about 30 minutes. Nutritious and delicious!
