Hummus
Fresh Garlic to taste (I use a whole head)
Hot Peppers (I like 1 Habanero best)
(these 2 items make it spicy -- use less of either to make less delicious Hummus. And be very cautious when handling a Habanero: if any of the interior touches any part of your body it will burn for a day or more -- let the food processor do the chopping!)
1c. Tahini (Sesame paste)
2/3c Lemon Juice (fresh, 3-4 lemons)
Cumin to taste (~2tsp)
Salt & Pepper to taste (~1tsp)
3 cans of Chick Peas (Garbanzo Beans), drained, save the liquid
Roasted Red Peppers
================================================
In a food processor:
Mince Garlic & Hot Peppers
Add tahini, lemon juice, spices -- puree
slowly add the Chick Peas -- add liquid as needed to maintain the tihs-ybab [use mirror] consistency.
Add the roasted red peppers. don't overblend -- leave chunks
It gets better if it's made a day or two ahead and refrigerated.
It keeps for a week at least when refrigerated. Can be frozen as well.
Traditionally served slightly warmed, Olive Oil drizzled over it with pita bread.
Best w/ wheat crackers.
