Moosewood Hummus

Use your imagination, or serve it on pita or as a dip for raw veggies. Yields 3 1/2 cups.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 medium cloves garlic
  • handful of parsley
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 3 c cooked chick peas (or 2 15 1/2 oz. cans, rinsed & drained)
  • 6 T tahini
  • 6 T fresh lemon juice (I usually use less, add a little at a time and taste as you go)
  • 3/4 – 1 t salt
  • cayenne & cumin to taste (optional)

Directions

  1. Place garlic, parsley and scallions in food processor or blender and mince.
  2. Add chick peas, tahini, lemon juice and salt and puree to a thick paste (if you like it thinner, add a little water, or some of the water the chick peas were cooked in).
  3. Season to taste, if desired, with cayenne and cumin (and correct the salt if necessary).
