I was going through some old recipe files and came across this recipe from a local mediterranean restaurant no longer in business. I had never made it so I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. Ingredients:
2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained |
1/2 cup tahini paste |
1/2 cup lemon juice |
6 teaspoons minced garlic |
3 teaspoons ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper |
1 teaspoon white pepper |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup olive oil |
water, for thinning |
1/4 cup minced parsley |
additional oil, for drizzling |
paprika |
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients except oil and parsely in food processor.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Slowly add 1/4 cup olive oil and continue processing until mixed well.
4. If mixture is too stiff add water a little at a time until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency (you don't want it runny).
5. Remove from processor and add parsley.
6. Chill for at least four hours.
7. Spread on plate in a thin layer.
8. Drizzle additional oil on top.
9. Sprinkle with paprika and served with pita bread.
