Hummus Recipe

  Middle Eastern Dips

Ingredients:
3-4 cloves garlic
handful parsley
1 green onion, sliced
3 cups cooked chick peas (or two 16oz cans, drained and rinsed)
6 tablespoons tahini
juice of 2 lemons
1/2 teaspoon salt
pinch ground cumin (optional)

Directions:
Blend everything in a food processor and puree 'til smooth or almost smooth (some people like a coarser texture to their hummus). Adjust seasonings if necessary (I like a LOT of garlic!). If possible, refrigerate 24 hours before serving to let the flavours develop. Serve with wedges of pita bread.

Note: I sometimes make hummus with black beans instead of garbanzos; this results in a darker, heartier dip.
