Hummus Recipe

Ingredients

Makes 4 To 6 Servings

This Is Vegan.

  • 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas (about 3 cups cooked chickpeas)
  • 6 tablespoons sesame tahini
  • 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (1 good-sized clove; or possibly more, to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (possibly more, to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • olive oil, for the top
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Method

  1. Set a colander in the sink and pour in the chickpeas
  2. Give them a quick rinse and allow them to drain
  3. Put the chickpeas and all the remaining ingredients except the olive oil and cayenne in a blender or food processor, and puree to form a thick paste
  4. Taste the hummus to see if you want to add more garlic or salt
  5. Transfer the hummus to a container with a tight-fitting lid (or put it in a decorative bowl) and smooth the top
  6. Pour a little olive oil on top, and tilt until it coats the entire surface
  7. Cover (with plastic wrap, if using the decorative bowl) and refrigerate until ready to use
  8. Allow to come to room temperature before serving
  9. Sprinkle the top with a light dusting of cayenne, and serve
