This is my variation on hummus, which is very non-specific and generally not helpful at all. 🙂

Ingredients

  • 2 cans garbonzo beans
  • 1 lemon
  • olive oil
  • garlic
  • salt
  • tahini (or sesame oil)
  • cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. I don't have a food processor, so this is how I prepare the chickpeas: drain one can, and add it to the other (liquid included) in a small pot. Boil it for a long time. Mash it up with a potato masher.
  2. Juice the lemon
  3. In a small skillet (8 to 10 inches), simmer about 1/4 inch of olive oil with about 3 or 4 mashed cloves of fresh garlic until the garlic is all brown
  4. Mix the chickpea mash with the lemon juice and a few huge spoonfulls of tahini. This gives it its bitter taste, so add as much as suits your taste.
  5. Add the oil and garlic
  6. Add salt and cayenne pepper to taste, mixing well.
  7. Garnish with sprigs of fresh parsley and serve with toasted wedges of pita bread or wheat toast.
