Heather's Hummas

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 can garbanzos, drained and rinsed
  • salt and pepper

USE A BLENDER! Annihilator setting!

A blender will yield perfect hummus, everytime. Just remember to add the ingredients in the correct order and use a spatula to ensure that all the garbanzos get crushed.

Put tahini, water, lemon juice and garlic in food processor. . Add a little salt and pepper. Start BLENDER and let it run, adding a few beans at a time. Mixture will start to emulsify. Continue until all beans are used. Put hummus in fridge to chill, overnight ideally. You can use a food processor, but the hummus won't be quite creamy. No matter how hard you try.

If you can't find tahini in the local grocer's or health food store, you can try to wag it yourself. I never have, but here is a recipe should work.

    Tahini

  • 4 cups sesame seeds
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup vegetable oil

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
    spread out seeds on cooking pan, and bake 8 to 10 minutes, turning frequently.
    Process in blender, or food processor, adding oil slowly until it forms a smooth paste.
    spread hummus on pita bread and hard rolls.
