Today I made the best hummus I've ever tasted. Here's the recipe. (I just used a blender, as I have never even owned a food processor.)
One thing I did differently; I sauteed the 3 cloves of garlic in 2 table spoons of olive oil, and added the oil and garlic to the mixture instead of just 2 cloves of garlic as called for in this recipe.
Ingredients: 2 cups canned chick peas, drained or the same amount fresh cooked 2/3 cup tahini 1/2 cup lemon juice 2 cloves mashed garlic 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cumin parsley for garnish oil Place chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt and cumin in food processor. Mix until smooth. The hummus may be a bit thick, so thin it out by adding a bit of oil or liquid from the can of chick peas. Using the liquid from the can obviously makes it a low fat hummus recipe, but the oil adds a lovely richness to the hummus that is my preference. Refrigerate. Just before serving sprinkle chopped parsley on top. |
