The Story of James Robinson

Hey Kake,

It’s so simple! (And my favorite)

No. 12 can of Garbanzo beans, Drained

2-3 Oz of Fresh Lemon Juice.

Few Cloves of Garlic, peeled.

3-4 oz. of Tahini paste (Also called Sesame paste)

Olive Oil.

Pepper.

(Paprika and Fresh Parsley to garnish.)

In a food processor (You can use a blender, but it will take a long time. You can use a potato masher too).

Blend the Garbanzo beans with 1/2 the lemon juice and 1/2 the tahini paste and an oz or two of olive oil. TASTE. Add the remaining lemon juice, olive oil, tahini and garlic to taste. Top with pepper, blend and taste again.

Top with additional olive oil, paprika sprinkles and parsley.

Hmmm

This is a version from the Food Network:

HUMMUS by Ina Garten:

4 garlic cloves

2 cups canned chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)

6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)

2 tablespoons water or liquid from the chickpeas

8 dashes hot sauce

Turn on the food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop the garlic down the feed tube; process until it’s minced. Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and process until the hummus is coarsely pureed. Taste, for seasoning, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
