Hummus

Hummus


Ingredients :
- cans chick peas, reserve juice -
- 2-3 cloves garlic -
- 2 tbsp. Tahini (sesame seed paste) -
- 1 tsp.salt -
- 1/4 cup cold water -
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice -
- 1/4 cup olive oil -

How to Prepare :
1. Heat the chick peas in a saucepan. In a food processor, add beans, tahini, water, salt and garlic. Mix until smooth, about 4 minutes. It should be the consistency of dip; if not, add 1/4 cup of juice from the beans (I almost always add the juice; it's more smooth this way). Then add the olive oil and lemon juice; mix again for 2 minutes.
2. Put in a shallow bowl, sprinkle olive oil and paprika on top, and garnish with fresh parsley and mint leaves.
3. This can be eaten with pita bread, crackers, salad, whatever you'd like; if you want it thicker, omit the ban juice.
