The Hummus in this recipe is a lot less lumpy and more flavourful than the store bought stuff. Ingredients:
1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, reserve water |
1 clove garlic, sliced |
1/2 large lemon, juice of |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 teaspoon cumin |
3 tablespoons tahini, sauce found at middle eastern stores (sesame seed sauce) |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped |
good quality pita bread |
Directions:
1. In a Blender (NOT a Food Processor).
2. Add chick peas, garlic, lemon juice, salt, cayenne, cumin, and 1/2 quantity of chickpea water, blend.
3. You will probably have to stir manually a couple of times (when the blender is off!).
4. Add Tahini and blend again, when finished the Hummus should be able to just start to slide out of the blender on its own.
5. If too thick add a little more chickpea water.
6. Pour into a shallow bowl, drizzle with Olive Oil, and sprinkle parsley on top.
7. Cut up Pita Bread into bite size pieces, serve with Hummus.
8. Enjoy.
