Hummus

Appetizers
My husband's recipe for hummus - a little different take on a yummy appetizer.
Picture
Print Friendly and PDF
2 cups chick peas (garbanzo beans), canned or fresh cooked from dried beans
2 Tablespoons Tahini (sesame butter)
zest and juice of 2 lemons
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons dried oregano
1 Tablespoon cumin
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional for heat)
salt and pepper to taste
For garnish:  dash of paprika on top
If more liquid is needed, add teaspoons of tomato sauce.
  1. Combine all except paprika and tomato sauce in blender or food processor.  If you're using a blender, you will need to separate into a couple of batches, until it's blended.  Then combine.
  2. Blend or process until fairly smooth.  If it's too thick, add a little tomato sauce.  If it's too thin, don't worry too much - it will thicken as it cools.
  3. Transfer to serving bowl and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.  Garnish with paprika on top.
  4. Serve with toasted pita bread, raw veggies, crackers, tortilla chips, etc.
  5. Keeps in refrigerator for about a week.
