Source of Recipe

Unknown


2 c chick peas, soaked and cooked or canned, drained and rinsed
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 T lemon juice
¼ c water
3 T tahini (sesame paste)
½ to 1 t cumin

Place the cooked chick peas (it's ok if they're still warm) in the food processor along with the garlic, lemon juice, and water. Process for about a minute, until smooth. If too thick, add more water.

Stir in the tahini and spices, taste, and add more lemon juice/tahini/cumin/paprika as appropriate.

Spread the hummus into a shallow bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with lemon slices and minced parsley.

Serve chilled, with warm pita bread and/or fresh vegetables.
