I Can't Make Hummus

:salam2:

I love hummus. But I'm not sure how to make it... So many recipies leave so much to be desired, and the boxed stuff is awful. Mine always comes out all chunky and not spicy enough. And the tahini paste I used is like cement... It's so hard and difficult to get whipped up with the chick peas.

I like my hummus loaded with garlic and cumin, and really smooth, but not too thin. How do you get it like that!!??

We Americans might call it a dip. And a Middle-Easterner would probably slap me for calling it that.

But it's still a dip. And it's good.

Ok I will try to help you...first off you want to soak the chick peas over night at least 8 hours..
dump the water and refill, put it over the stove like a medium setting..dump the white skim as it comes on the top..cook until the beans are soft but not too soft...use a food processor...blend in small batches until creamy...i leave some beans out in mind to put in it or on top...then blend in garlic, lemon juice, tahini-shoeya shoeya just little not much or it gets a weird flavor, cumin if you like, a little paprika....then on top make a well...chop a small amount of pickle, sprinkle paprika, and add some of the cooked chickpeas, and if you like oil add some olive oil..i usually throw on a few olives just for show. :-)
