Hummus – April Folkman
2 Cups canned or 2 cups cooked dried Garbanzo Beans (ChickPeas)
1 Cup Tahini (comes in a bottle or can) made of sesame seed paste
Juice of 2 Lemons and the zest or (3 -10 Tb. lemon juice concentrate, and 1 Tb. dried lemon zest)
3 Garlic cloves minced or 1 Tb. minced garlic in a jar
3/4 cup water, more or less for creamy consistency
about 1/2-3/4 tsp. salt- sea salt preferred
Olive oil for drizzle
Paprika for sprinkle
Can also add jar of Dried Tomato's or jar of Red Bell Peppers to the mix for variation.
Drain the beans, warm on stove with a little water just to steam them a little. You could skip this step, but I like it warm when mixing, it brings out the other flavors better.
Put beans in food processor, put on pulse just to break it up, add Tahini, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt. Let the processor run awhile and slowly add water a little at a time to the desired consistency you prefer. I like mine very whipped and creamy, with few to no lumps of beans. You may need to open and scrape down the sides a few times. Pour out into a dish, drizzle with some olive oil on top, garnish with paprika, chopped parsley, pine nuts, or whatever you like. Serve warm or cold with fresh veggies, pita bread, or chips.
