Hummus Sandwich??

[Trek420]

I start by pressure cooking the chickpeas with lots of raw garlic (whole cloves will soften plenty during cooking).

They will but everything in life's better if they're smashed (just whack the clove with the flat side of a French knife and they will peel easily, no need for fancy schmancy garlic peelers) then sauteed till lightly caramelized. just toss in the cooked chickpeas.

On pita bread, bagel chips, whatever pleases you.

Quick and easy Hummus. I got this out of a Lebanese cook book and just switched the soaked chickpeas over to canned ones...make things a lot easier!

One large can of chick peas (I think it is about 19oz)
3 tablespoons chickpea juice
1/3 cup tahini (not the premade dip stuff!)
1/3 cup lemon juice
seasonings (whatever pleases you!)

drain chickpeas making sure to save some of the liquid. Dump chickpeas in food processor and start mashing them up, while you do that add the 3 tblsp of chickpea juice. Process some more until it starts the chickpeas start to break up and start forming a paste. Add Tahini and lemon juice and process until smooth.

For seasonings you can add a little garlic and salt for something basic.

I like to add garlic, cumin and ground corriander with mine, but have fun and experiment!


Hummus is also good with a nice bowl of Tabbouli salad too :-)
