Directions:
- 1. chick peas and drain them.
- 2. Crush and mash the chick peas with a food mill or blender.
- O If you use a food processor, be careful not to liquidize the chick peas.
- 3. Add the salt and peeled garlic cloves to a mortar and crush them. Add the tahini and lemon juice alternately to the same mortar and mix well with the pestle or a wooden spoon.
- 4. Pour the tahini mixture over the pureed chick peas, and work it with a whisker or wooden spoon until you obtain a smooth and thick, but soft paste.
- O If you find the consistency of the hummus too thick, add lemon juice and/or water. Do not add a lot of water, though, or you'll compromise the flavor. Likewise, do not add too much lemon juice, or it will only taste to lemon.
- 5. Pour the hummus onto a shallow serving plate.
- 6. A moment before serving, drizzle some olive oil in the center and garnish with the chopped parsley.
- 7. Serve chilled or at room temperature with radishes, pickles and green onions, as it is done traditionally.
- Second method: Faster
- 1. Place the chick peas, tahini, fresh lemon juice, peeled garlic cloves and salt in a blender and blend into a thick paste. Add water as needed. Take care not to liquidize the garbanzo beans.
- 2. A few minutes before serving the hummus, decorate it with the chopped parsley. Drizzle olive oil in the center.
- 3. Serve at room temperature, or refrigerate for an hour and serve chilled.
