My favorite basic recipe for hummus I use to cook the chickpeas but the canned tastes just as good and takes less time. Ingredients:
2 , 15 oz cans chickpeas drained |
1/2 c sesame tahini |
juice from 1 or 2 lemons |
1 lg garlic clove crushed |
salt and pepper to taste |
dash of cumin to taste |
bit of olive oil or hot water to thin mixture |
Directions:
1. Drain chickpeas.
2. Place in food processor with metal blade ( not blender! )along with garlic and tahini.
3. Process until smooth.
4. Add juice from lemon and process a few seconds to blend.
5. If mixture seems to thick thin out with a bit of hot water or olive oil.
6. Season to taste.
7. Cumin can be optional as well as a bit of cilantro.
8. Serve in pita bread with veges such as tomato, sliced cukes, onion rings, sprouts etc.
