Hummus Recipe

Category: Low Fat

 Ingredients List

  • 2 To 3 medium cloves garlic,
  • Sliced [I use more, but I
  • Love garlic!]
  • 1 Large handful parsley
  • 2 Healthy scallions, in 1-inch
  • Pieces
  • 3 c Cooked chick-peas
  • 6 tb Tahini [First I cut down to
  • One, now I just use a few
  • dr Chinese
  • Sesame oil]
  • 6 tb Fresh lemon juice [I use
  • Quite a lot more - one or
  • Two whole lemons,
  • Squeezed]
  • 3/4 To 1 tsp. salt (to taste)
  • 1 Cayenne and a little cumin,
  • To taste [she says optional,
  • But I don't!]

 Directions

1) Place garlic, parsley and scallions in a food processor or blender, and
mince.

2) Add chick peas, tahini [or oil], lemon juice, and salt, and puree to a
thick paste. [I grind the chick peas separately first, it makes life much
easier].

3) Season to taste with cayenne and cumin. Transfer to a tightly lidded
container and chill.

The green colour can be a bit disconcerting at first, and it does taste a
bit different, using sesame oil instead of tahini. But it is still good, I
feel.
