Archives: Recipe: Hummus Dip Archived on 10/29/2009 A delicious hummus dip recipe. Ingredients: 2 cups cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans) or 19-ounce can (rinsed and drained) 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, peeled and quartered 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 cup tahini * (sesame paste) 1/4 to 1/2 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed salt, to taste freshly ground black pepper, to taste Directions: Put chickpeas, garlic, olive oil, cumin and tahini in a food processor and process. Once it starts to reach the desire texture start slowly adding the lemon juice and process until you have a nice paste for dipping. Then salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for two hours before serving. * Tahini is the equivalent of peanut butter but made with sesame seeds instead of peanuts. In a pinch, you can try this recipe with peanut butter, but it won't be as good. Once you have made this a couple times you will get a good feel for how much salt, pepper and lemon juice you prefer.
