Snack Time Presents: Randy’s Hummus
Discover the key ingredient that makes this hummus so scrumptious. This entertaining video and easy-to-follow recipe shares instructions, fun facts, and even alternative twists on the usual garbanzo bean dip.
INGREDIENTS:
Canned Chick Peas
Fresh Garlic
Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil
Sesame Tahini
Ground Cumin
Fresh Lemons
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Paprika
Crush and chop a lot of garlic. I use about 5 to 6 large cloves. The trick is to use more garlic than you think you should. Be dangerous!
Squeeze the juice from about 1 ½ lemons.
Combine 2 tablespoons of SESAME TAHINI, the LEMON JUICE, GARLIC, about 2 –3 tablespoons of water, a little bit of CUMIN, and a little bit of PEPPER. Stir until the TAHINI is mixed fairly well. Sometimes the TAHINI is hard to dissolve, so use a blender if you want.
(At this point if you add more water, you have Lemon-Tahini salad dressing.)
Drain one can of CHICK PEAS, set a side a few peas for garnish, put the rest in a blender and blend away. Add water to achieve your desired consistency. Place into a nice bowl and use a spoon to make a few dents in the top. Pour a little bit of OLIVE OIL in the dents and sprinkle CUMIN, PEPPER, PAPRIKA, finely chopped PARSLEY (if you want to be really fancy) and a few whole CHICK PEAS on top to garnish.
Serve with toasted garlic sprinkled pita wedges. ENJOY!
BLACK BEAN HUMMUS: Double portions from above, but use one can DRAINED BLACK BEANS and one can CHICK PEAS. Sprinkle CHOPPED GREEN ONION on top. YUM!
