HUMMUS

Hummus

I actually don’t have a clue how to make this authentically, but this turns out pretty good

Ingredients:

1 14oz can garbonzo beans

½-1 lemon

2-3 cloves garlic

1 Tbsp Tahini

Olive Oil, Salt, dash of cayenne

Cilantro or parsley as garnish if on hand

Directions:

Either smash the garlic cloves in advance or dice them or just zap them in the blender first before adding the beans. In my batch, we still had 2 whole cloves that didn’t get pureed correctly.

Otherwise, just add all the ingredients to the blender and zap. It’s a taste game, where adding salt really starts to bring the flavor out. We used about ¾ the garbonzo bean can for the amount we made here, using only half the lemon, and not all the garlic cloves that are shown. I even added a dash of vinegar as well as a bit of cayenne. Maybe a dash of hot sauce would be good too, or some other spice, like white pepper or coriander?

don't add the garlic whole! Use a press or smash or blitz them alone first
