Carol's Hummous Recipe #8968
A recipe I learned from two Lebanese friends. This is my family's most requested dish at get-togethers.
10 min | 10 min prep
SERVES 6
- 2 cans heated garbanzo beans or 2 cup cooked garbanzo beans
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (you could use the squeeze lemon that is 100% lemon juice)
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- salt
- water
- 1/4 cup lightly toasted pine nuts (optional)
Toppings
- Combine all ingredients except water in blender on pulse or puree setting, until smooth.
- You will need to add boiling hot water during this process as it tends to sieze up.
- If you accidentally add too much water it's okay as the lemon and tahini tend to suck it up.
- Transfer to serving plate.
- Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil.
- Serve with Carol's easy pita bread.
