Recipe: Hummus

Even though it’s extremely easy and quick to make, many people still buy commercial hummus. I don’t understand this, and can only assume that it’s due to their not having a recipe on hand. Here it is. Stop paying $5 for a tiny tub of hummus.

Hummus bi Tahini

4 slices onion
2-4 cloves garlic
2 cans chickpeas (or equivalent volume rehydrated, cooked dry chickpeas), drained
juice of 1 medium lemon
2-4 Tbs sesame tahini
1/2 c. olive oil
dash cayenne pepper or Tabasco sauce
1/2tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Mince onion and garlic in food processor. Add chickpeas and puree. Add remaining ingredients, pouring in the oil while processing the hummus until it reaches the desired texture. Serve with fresh pita, hot sauce, assorted pickles, and fresh vegetables.

    I normally make mine omitting the onion, cumin, and cayenne, but I made it like this tonight with a shallot I had and it was superb. Good call.
