Laurie,

Here's a pretty classic recipe, and the " spiciness " is up to you, so add the

garlic, salt and black pepper in small amounts at first.

HUMMUS

from Vegetarian Express, Nava Atlas and Lillian Kayte

 

1-pound can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 C tahini (sesame paste)

1/4 C water, or as needed [actually, I use olive oil instead, generously]

1 clove garlic, crushed or minced, or 1/2 t garlic powder

Juice of one lemon

1//2 t ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Paprika for garnish [optional]

 

1. Combine all ingredients except the last two in a food processor or

blender. Process until smooth, adding small amounts of water [olive oil] if

necessary. The consistency should be that of a thick dip.

2. While the mixture is still in the processor, season to taste with salt

and pepper, and blend well. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and

dust the top with paprika.
