-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/3 c Dried chickpeas -- cooked -OR-
15 oz Can chickpeas
1/2 cl Garlic -- crushed
1 tb Tahini
3 tb Olive oil
2 tb Lemon juice
Black pepper
Garnish:
Olive oil
Paprika
Black olives
Lemon wedge
Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid. Place chick peas in a
processor with all the other ingredients and blend until the
mixture is smooth.
Alternatively, mash the chickpeas as smoothly as possible and then
beat in the other ingredients to make a smoothish mixture.
Add enough of the reserved liquid to give a light, soft consistency
like softly whipped cream.
Spoon hummus onto a plate and level it with a knife so that it is
about 1/2" deep. Pour a little olive oil over the top, then
sprinkle with paprika and garnish with olives and lemon wedges.
