Ingredients
3 Cans Garbanzo beans (drained)
3 – 4 tablespoons Tahini (Sesame butter)
4 – 6 cloves Garlic (chopped)
1 Lemon or lime
1/3 cup Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions
1. Sauté the chopped garlic in oil over a low flame.
2. Juice the lime or lemon.
3. Place all of ingredients in a large blender. Blend well. This could take several minutes. Your hummus will be thick and have a dry consistency.
4. Add good water (not Southern California tap water if possible) in about 1/8 cup amounts and blend until he desired consistency is achieved.
5. Set the hummus in a service bowl. A few branches of parsley placed on the hummus adds a nice look to the dish.
6. Just before eating make an indent in the center of the hummus plate and pour a small amount of olive oil into the indent.
You can eat it right away, but the hummus improves if it sits overnight in the refrigerator.
