Yield: 2 cups

Hummus

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (or 15 oz. can) garbanzo beans, cooked
  • 2 tablespoons sesame tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin, ground
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/4 - 1 cup water
  • 6 - 8 sprigs of cilantro leaves, fresh

Instructions

  1. Rinse cilantro and set aside.
  2. Rinse and drain garbanzo beans.
  3. Blend all ingredients together except cilantro.
  4. Add water in the amount needed to obtain the desired thickness.
  5. Blend until smooth (about 1 minute).
  6. Taste and add more seasonings if desired.
  7. Add cilantro leaves and blend briefly, just enough to chop.
  8. Chill and serve.

Notes

Use this dip with pita bread, crackers, or other bread. It is also good as a vegetable dip.

You can replace the tahini with 1/2 cup dry-roasted peanuts or raw cashews.

You may use fresh or prepared minced garlic. If you use whole garlic cloves, you don't need to mince them since you are going to blend them.

1 teaspoon minced garlic = 2 garlic cloves.

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder = 2 garlic cloves.

Store hummus in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh at least a week.
