Tomato Hummus with Tahini

Source: Bonni at SDA-Vegan-Cooking

 

1/2 pound dried chick peas

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh, minced garlic

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup tahini

4 ounces tomato paste

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Black olives for garnish

Sprinkle of cayenne for garnish

 

Soak the peas overnight and then drain. Boil the peas in a large saucepan

with plenty of water for 3 hours. Drain and allow to cool.

 

Use a blender and puree the peas. Add the lemon juice, garlic and olive oil

until a fine paste develops. (You may have to add a little water to the peas

to lubricate them.) This is the basic recipe for hummus. To flavor the

hummus, add the tomato paste and tahini and continue to blend. Salt to taste

after refrigeration. Garnish with black olives and sprinkle with parsley,

paprika and ground cayenne.
