From Elizabeth Baird's blog, an easy hummus with variations. Apparently, putting the garlic in the food processor can make it bitter, so stir in finely chopped or crushed garlic after processing. Variations are noted at recipe bottom.

SERVES 6 , 2 1/2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup cold water (approx)
1/2 cup tahini
1/3 cup lemon juice, fresh
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced (3 large cloves)

Directions

1
1. Combine all of the ingredients except the garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the side of the bowl several times to ensure an even smooth paste. Add more water for a thinner hummus. Stir in garlic. (Make-ahead: Scrape into an airtight container, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.)
2
2. Tip: If you like to accentuate the sesame flavour, drizzle in a little dark sesame oil with the olive oil.
3
Hummus Variations:.
4
-Cumin Hummus: Add 1 to 2 tsp ground cumin and a dash of hot pepper sauce to hummus.
5
-Roasted Red Pepper Hummus: Whirl 1/2 cup chopped roasted red pepper and a splash of hot pepper sauce with the chickpeas and other ingredients.
6
-Hummus with Herbs: Add 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley to finished hummus.
7
-Other Beans Hummus: Substitute white kidney beans for the chickpeas.

When searching for an easy, healthy dip recipe on a Sunday with not many ingredients on hand, my sis ne me came across this one and thought it sounded too good to pass by. So we made the white bean variation and were not disappointed. This is a really creamy and tasty recipe! The tahini adds a nice earthy toasted flavour, which goes great with the beans. But we both liked it even better with some dill added in. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us, Kat! Ill surely make it again! Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #15 Octobre 09.

I love hummus, but I always bought it from the store.This recipe is even better than what I bought and it will be my new go to hummus recipe. I made it plain and loved it, then with cumin, which was even better, because I'm a cumin fan.
