Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon canola oil

1/4 cup minced red onion

2 cloves garlic

OR 1 tsp. prepared minced garlic

1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 tablespoon minced fresh basil

OR 1/2 tsp. dried basil

1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano

OR 1/2 tsp. dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground cumin

1 15 oz can garbanzo beans -- drained & rinsed

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

salt to taste

 

Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and

garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until aromatic and tender, about 3 minutes.

Remove from the heat; stir in the parsley, basil, oregano, coriander, pepper,

and cumin.

 

Process the garbanzo beans and lemon juice in a food processor until the mixture

is smooth. Add the bean mixture, sesame seeds, and salt to the skillet; stir

until evenly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Let cool.

 

VARIATION: White Bean Hummus -- Substitute olive oil for the canola oil and one

15-oz can of white beans for the garbanzos. Because white beans are moister,

reduce the lemon juice to 2 tablespoons.
