1
Directions
2
drain and rinse 1 16oz can of chick peas (garbanzo beans). I used a colander because the peas foam in the can when rinsed.
3
Put the beans in a food processor, add 3 tablespoons Tahini, 2 tablespoons Lemon or lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika to taste, add approximately 6 cloves of garlic (you can add more or less to suit your tastes the classic recipe only calls for 2 cloves, even with 6 i find it to be mild to my tastes).
4
add 1-3 tablespoons of water (as needed during the puree process to get the hummus to the right consistency, it should be thick, never runny but it should 'flow' slowly in the processor sucking and twirling all the ingredients until fully pureed.
5
Serve with warm pita bread (i use whole wheat), 1 serving = approximately 2 tablespoons (1 oz) and 1 whole pita (not included in totals here, but it's about 160cal per whole pita).
6
I also like on occasion to put a little feta with my hummus that's rather tasty on the pita also.
