This is a pretty standard hummus recipe...
(I really enjoy cooking "from scratch", but feel free to substitute canned things for fresh, but fresh really does taste better!)
1 1/2 cups of dried chickpeas
2-4 cloves of garlic, crushed (more or less depending on taste)
4-8 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2-3 tablespoons Tahini (Sesame seed paste)
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Dash of cumin
-Overnight, soak about 1 1/2 cups of chickpeas with a pinch of salt. Next morning rinse and drain.
-Cook the beans in some slightly salted water until they are soft. (1 hour, more or less) (You may reserve some of the water if the hummus is too dry in the blender)
-Drain the beans and add to blender. Add crushed garlic, lemon juice, tahini , cumin and olive oil. Blend until it is the consistency you desire. Some like it smooth, some like it chunky. Play around with it until you get what you like!
I like to take that recipe and tweak it a bit for my own personal tastes. I love vinegar. The more sour the better, so I add in 2 tablespoons of white or rice vinegar. I also sometimes omit the tahini. Some would consider this to be hummus abuse! Enjoy!
