Hummus


Garbanzo Bean Dip

 When serving Hummos as a side dish, pour in a shallow dish with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle Paprika on top.  It can also be used a dip with toasted pita chips on the side.  If you are using two
15 oz. cans garbanzo beans to substitute for dried, drain and skip to Step 3.

 
½ cup dried garbanzo beans
1 large clove garlic, crushed
Dash of salt
¼ cup lemon juice
5 tablespoons Tahini

  1. Soak the beans in 3 cups water overnight. 
  2.  Drain and place in a medium saucepan with 5 cups water.  Bring to boil, skimming foam build up on top.  Simmer for 30 minutes until tender.  Drain.
  3. In a blender, add beans and remaining ingredients.  Process until smooth.  Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.                                     Yields 2 cups

  1. It all ends here my friends, the mother of all hummus recipes. I've brought this dip to so many gatherings and I get nothing but compliments and questions on how to make it. Enjoy it as prepared or add a flair of your own by incorporating black beans, roasted red bell pepper, cumin, etc. Enjoy!
