Hummus
Serves 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Total time: 40 minutes (mostly waiting)
Note: Imminently configurable, when you make your own hummus it can be as garlicky, lemony, or as anything else-y as you like.
Ingredients
1 - 15-oz can chickpeas
2 TB lemon juice (or to taste)
1 cloves of garlic (or to taste), pressed or minced
1/2 tsp salt
3 TB tahini
2 TB extra virgin olive oil
Method
Place chickpeas into a food processor and process until they are completely broken down.
Add the lemon juice, garlic and salt, and process until they are well mixed in.
Add the tahini and process until the hummus is well mixed.
Let sit for 30 minutes so the flavors can meld. Taste, and add lemon juice 1 TB at a time, to your taste.
Serve on individual plates, and drizzle olive oil on each serving. Eat with raw vegetables and pita bread.
Variations:
For standard hummus, use 2 TB of lemon juice
For somewhat lemony hummus, use 3 TB of lemon juice
For very lemony hummus, use 1⁄4 cup of lemon juice (1-2 lemons)
