My friend Carol George sent me this recipe a while ago and I love it. It is a GREAT starting point for all the varying types of hummas you can make. I made it this morning and will be snacking on it for several days.
1 can drained garbanzos (save juice)
3-4 cloves sliced garlic
~1/2 c garbanzo juice (I adjust as I'm blending...usually start w/ 1/4 c and keep adding til consistency is right)
1/4 c or so chopped fresh cilantro (not packed down))
1/6 c tahini
1/8 c lemon juice (usually add a little more than that)
1/2-3/4 tsp sea salt
~2 Tbsp olive oil (usually start w/ 1 or 1.5 tbsp and adjust when blending)
~1/2 tsp cumin
Paprika
Parsley
A little cayenne pepper
Other random spices depending on flavoring I want. I added a little of the mrs dash garlic & herb this batch which was really good
I definitely adjust oil and juice amts. Seems some brands of beans need more than others. Hope you enjoy it!
Tahini is sesame paste. I couldnt find it in our local grocery store but was able to pick it up at the food co-op.
