Hummus

Category: MiscellaneousCollection: Vegetarian Recipes

Ingredients

  • garbanzos (1 or 2 cans drained, or cook yourself)
  • lemon juice (I don't use too much as I don't like it too tart) tablespoon or so?
  • garlic (essential) two to four cloves minced or crushed - I like a lot!
  • cumin to taste 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon
  • pinch of coriander
  • 4 to 6 drops of toasted sesame oil (optional, negligible fat, adds flavor) Must be TOASTED SESAME OIL (I found in Asian food section of HFS.Very strong flavor, a bottle should last for years)

Directions

Mash garbanzos (I mash with a potato masher, then run in batches
in blender, because I like my hummus smooth) Mix in everything
else, tasting as you go along. Salt can be added, if you
like. I also add some red pepper on the top before serving.
Chilling seems to mix the flavors. Serve with pita wedges.
