I love hummus, but I don't like the dried hummus mixes that you can buy in the store. I also don't like the pre-made hummus that you can buy in the store. I like my hummus nice and thin and they prefer the thick hummus with strange flavors. So, I decided to make my own hummus. Lo and behold, there are a ton of recipes for hummus and they are all different. I'm really a freak about recipes in that I can't deviate from them one iota. That makes me a horrible, meticulous cook. I ended up creating my own hummus recipe and dare I say, it's a keeper. Here it is as follows: (I'm actually posting this so I don't lose it. Although, it is pretty easy to remember)
1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans (put the "juice" aside for later)
1/2 tsp. Cumin
2 Tbs. Lemon Juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup tahini
Olive Oil
Put everything beside juice and olive oil in a food processor. Mix it up. Add "juice" to get desired consistency (nice and thin). Put in a dish and drizzle olive oil over it. Yummmmmmmmmm.
