Hummus

This is approximate (I never measure)

2 cups canned bonzos, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup tahini
1/4 cup olive oil
juice of one big lemon or more to taste
1-2 clove garlic
salt and cumin as desired

Cuisinart the beans, garlic, lemon, and tahini while pouring in a steady stream of olive oil as it blends until desired consistency is reached.

For a more elaborate Hummus, try this Greek recipe

  • 2 1/2 cups of canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup of tahini
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/3 cup of water
  • parsley and olive oil to garnish
