HummuS |
dip made of tahini (sesame paste) and chick peas |
Ingredients: |
3 Cans Garbanzo beans (drained) 3 - 4 tablespoons Tahini (Sesame butter) 4 - 6 cloves Garlic (chopped) 1 Lemon or lime 1/3 cup Olive Oil Salt and Pepper to taste |
Directions: |
Sauté the chopped garlic in oil over a low flame. Juice the lime or lemon. Place all of ingredients in a large blender. Blend well. This could take several minutes. Your hummus will be thick and have a dry consistency. Add water in about 1/8 cup amounts and blend until he desired consistency is achieved. Set the hummus in a service bowl. A few branches of parsley placed on the hummus adds a nice look to the dish. Just before eating make an indent in the center of the hummus plate and pour a small amount of olive oil into the indent. You can eat it right away, but the hummus improves if it sits overnight in the refrigerator |
