Hummus

This is a really good basic Hummas recipe. I think it is the fresh lemon juice that really makes this dish.

Pair this up with the other Greek and Mediterranean dishes. I made this dish with a Baba Ghanoush, a Greek salad, lot of pita bread (spayed with olive oil and garlic salt than cooked on the grill) and some grilled chicken (marinated in lemon juice, a little olive oil and Greek spices) when we had our friend Brian over for dinner. What a feast.

Should serve 6 as a side dish or appetizer.


2 cups cooked chick-peas (1 16oz can)
4 tbsp tahini (ground sesame seeds)
3 tbsp warm water
4 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 2 large lemons
3 cloves of garlic
2 tsp salt
2 tsp cumin
fresh ground pepper

Combine in a food processor. Blend till smooth. Serve with pita bread.
