Best Hummus Ever
Note:
I've made (and eaten!) a lot of hummus, but this is the best recipe I've tried so far. I recently came across this version on another favorite blogger's website. Rebecca Woolf, of Girls Gone Child just started adding her mother's (WWW, or Wendy) vegetarian recipes, in a new section on her website, aptly titled "Eat Well".
I tweaked it a little for my taste by adding the parsley, but it's true to Wendy's version otherwise.
Rebecca's mother also wrote this very interesting and informative article on the hows and whys of cooking/eating vegetarian. Thought I'd share with my fellow hummus-eaters!
Tools needed:
food processor
Ingredients:
2 15-oz cans garbanzo beans (chick peas), rinsed and drained
1/2 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
juice of 2 or 3 lemons
2 cloves garlic (more if you LOVE raw garlic!)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cumin
Good quality olive oil
2 tsp freshly chopped (or dried) parsley
warm water
Other variations: Add basil, roasted peppers, red onion (my fave!), or cilantro! Experiement until you make your favorite!
Directions:
- Put all ingredients in the food processor except the olive oil and the water. Turn on processor and add about 1/4 cup water and a few tablespoons of oil or until you get the consistency you like.
- Process until smooth.
- Taste and correct seasoning if needed.
- I like to serve garnished with a little paprika (a little color never hurt anybody!) and parsley.
- Serve with veggies or pita bread or chips. Or use in your favorite wrap or sandwich instead of cheese and condiments!
Serves:
4-6
