After making my bean salad,
I had some extra garbanzo beans.
I decided to make hummus.
First I needed tahini,
or sesame seed paste.
I toasted 1/2 cup of sesame seeds
and added them to my mini-processor ...
... and processed a bit.
With the blades running,
I drizzled about 1/8 cup oil into the seeds
and ended up with this.
Season with freshly ground salt to taste.
On to my hummus.
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked garbanzo beans (chick peas)
1/2 cup tahini paste
2 garlic gloves
juice of one lemon
freshly ground salt and pepper
1 TB parsley
2 TB olive oil
2 TB water
pinch of cumin
5 drops of Tabasco
Mix first 6 ingredients,
then gradually drizzle in olive oil and water,
with the processor running,
until you get the proper consistency.
Season with cumin and Tabasco to taste.
Hummus on a tortilla chip.
Sesame-y, garbanzo-y,
garlicky, lemony, cumin-y,
with a hint of parsley.
I liked it.
Now what else can I do with it
besides use it as a dip?
No, I didn't have any pita bread,
but that gives me an idea.
I've never made pita bread before.
Hmmmm.
